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?

@lalitk - there were increasing levels of disappearance over the course of building my system, but the biggest jumps happened with 1.open baffle speakers with their field coil drivers; 2.combination of replacing the fuse of the external power supply for my preamp with a graphene coated sluggo and running the Inakustik 4004 power cable to it; 3.addition of taiko extreme with switch and router; 4.addition of omni-directional elac 4pi tweeters; 5.configuring a nearfield listening position.
Not necessarily in that order. Even with recordings that ghdprentice understandably refers to as silly - there is that sense of depth to everything I put on.
