How do you know when a stereo sounds good?


When do you know your system is pleasing to listen to? How do you conclusively prove to yourself that your system sounds good to you? How do you determine that you enjoy listening to music through your stereo? Do you have a suite of measurements that removes all shadow of a doubt that you are getting good sound, sound that you enjoy? Please share.

Hello, ted_denney!  Churches with choirs are the easiest and cheapest places to hear live music. Find a church in your area that is offering a free, live music, Christmas program. Go to it, sit up front, and listen carefully. Does you system sound like that? If so, be happy. If not, where is it falling short? Now, you have a place to focus for making improvements. Enjoy the music.

"Angels on pins, I’m counting angels on pins...."
(Musical interlude: Pick your own tempos and chords, and sing...
{ones’ that you can, or can’t, hit} ).

All audio can sound ’good’, until it hits the listeners’ ears.
Then the decision is up to the listener: ’Dis’ good, or ’dis’ suxs.
Listener is the final instrument in the system.
Next is objective, final is obsession...

I’m somewhere betwixt the last 2....
Done for fun vs. fanaticism pretty much nails it...and me. ;) *G*
