Agree with the “…if it sounds good”, “listen for hours”, “can’t walk away” school of appreciation noted here. My method is to enjoy what I have and tweak here and there, mostly with speaker positioning and AC power conditioning, not ADD but REMOVE as much noise as possible. And as for music, that is the real key to it all. Finding the true piece of magic that simply takes your breath away, even on modest systems like mine.
How do I know if my systems any good?
I'm not able to leave my house due to a long-standing injury, so I'm unable to hear anyone else's system. I could list out my components but not sure what that would achieve. Lets assume they're all fine pieces.
what are the things that should be considered when listening and judging an audio system that combines streaming and home theater via bypas thru a preamp.
Maybe it's a great system.
