The Disappearing Act

Nope, I am not talking about some magic trick!  

I often read here and other forums, when someone describing sound of their system….the music flows and speakers simply disappears. Also read similar acclamation for an amp, preamp or DAC. 

Would you agree when someone experience this phenomenon, you’re left with nothing but the music in its purest form. I would say, it’s a testament to the synergy of your components, room acoustics and meticulous setup. 

I would like to know, were you listening to something particularly special when ‘disappearing act’ happens, or is it a consistent experience across the tracks?

For my system, it's everything and anything I play, whether its LP's on either of two turntables or digital music through streaming services or my own library. 

The effect is there due to the room acoustics and speaker placement. It's incredible, and the only variation is with the dimensions of the soundstage. With digital, it's pretty much a fixed presentation. With analog, it can vary depending upon choices of cartridge and phono amp settings, though never is it "connected to the speakers."
