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?

If disappearing means 3D sound field, then when I started my high-end audio journey I visited a brick and mortar audio store. There I heart GoldenEar Triton speakers hooked up to Parasound electronics.  I was gobsmacked when I heard a 3D sound field for the first time.

Depending on speaker design, they seem to vary from their ability to create this 3D or not.  I’ve often wondered if brands like Tannoy could pull off a disappearing 3D
