When I am enjoying the music and not the system. A lot of people will refer to this as “when the speakers disappear and all you hear is the music ”. You sound like you are entering the cheating stage of audiofile. You are in love with music but a new sexy “system” is giving you a look and you start to wander and think that an affaire with “system” will be fun and “music” will never find out. Don’t overthink and and step over to the dark side. Enjoy the music and appreciate what you have.
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
When do you know your system is pleasing to listen to? How do you conclusively prove to yourself that your system sounds good to you? How do you determine that you enjoy listening to music through your stereo? Do you have a suite of measurements that removes all shadow of a doubt that you are getting good sound, sound that you enjoy? Please share.
