You know you have audiophile system when...

I’d rather have someone say, "It sounds just like we’ve been transported to the concert hall, jazz club, rock club’, than it sounds like they are in the room with us, when they hear my system. But that is my preference.

You are right!

It is not a taste or a preference, but an acoustic result when a system /room is under control...

If they are in " the room with you" but you are not there in the concert hall or jazz club with them to begin with it, is because the acoustic trade-off of the recording engineer is not revealed well in your system/room...

Our room must be erased by passive and active and acoustic and psycho-acoustic control to reveal some aspects of the recording original trade-off, then it is you who are there on the stage or near it,  out of your room, with an intimate relation with the sound around you , not them in your room ...

It is my acoustic experience...

You know you have an audiophile system when you have learned acoustic...

If not, you upgrade to a very costly system...

It is almost useless...Igear improvement without acoustic improvement are deceitful...

Sorry...

it is incredible and revelatory of the situation if i am the only one to claim that..

Do you ever think that most of it, the adjectives you used to describe your system are nothing more than a concerted effort on your part to hear those things, aspects of sound in a wishful thinking sort of way?

It is true if someone have no idea about what is the acoustic definition of sound description, not an  audiophile one,  an acoustic one...

When you know what the notion  means it is because you know how to create them in an optimal way with the gear you own from your speakers/room/ears relation...

Simple...

What is listener envelopment/source width ratio and how to create it and improve it in  small room? it is a technical question which anser differ in applied  solution for each room...

No adjectives needed here, machanical acoustic control and passive material treatment balance will do....

I can say my S.Q./price ratio is astounding, this is an adjective only, but the way i reach it with acoustic is what gives meaning to my sentence...

I dont trust any reviewer now...

They never thanks acoustic but the gear change they are motivated to speak about in the same  room for years which is never optimized for a specific system ...

Anybody can buy a good amplifier, one he can afford and say it is a marvel...

But no amplifier will work marvel in a bad room... Most room if not bad are not acoustically optimal at all not optimized for a specific audio system...

Then i trust acoustic and psycho-acoustic over any  reviewer which are sellers anyway nothing more...

This is true....

Because when any music sound at his best....Acoustic factors dont lie...

You know you have an audiophile system when you don’t feel the need to ask if you have one.
