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 My speakers disappeared long ago. It happened gradually as I dialled in the sound with relatively small but significant improvements which, if you can imagine it, pulled the sound from 2D against the plane of the speakers to 3D away from them until they just disappeared.

Almost everything I play is simply in the room.
