How do you know when a stereo sounds good?

“I am not anti cabler.” 
 

Has virtue signaling jumped the shark?

My confusion comes from your interpretation of what the OP wrote. He didn't ask: "How does someone else determine that you enjoy listening to music through your stereo?". That's how you interpreted his question but I don't think that's what he asked (it's possible I'm still confused). He asked: "How do you determine that you enjoy listening to music through your stereo?". That question is directed at the person listening to the music. I think the simple answer is if it brings pleasure, one is likely enjoying listening to music. Just like if you have pain, you know it yourself (I'm living proof of this one).

The other part of your reply that I did not understand was the science fiction scenario. I didn't get what that meant either.

This is quite possibly a subject that could be great for a new thread, should there be an opportunity.

My initial thoughts are that it has always been in existence of course, but only in recent times has it become so over-used in many areas of our day-to-day life its use and mis-use is becoming thoroughly transparent (and maybe even passe, as you suggest.  I don't know).

I am a bit short on time, so I can say this, briefly and hope it makes sense.

OP: How do you determine that you enjoy listening to music through your stereo? 

I determine I enjoy listening to music in the same way I determine I'm in pain: I just feel and know it.

The puzzle to me was why someone with access to their own mind would ask this question. That's why my initial post proposed another way to ask the question. And those who have answered it clearly took it as posed in that other way, or they'd have had nothing to say. Gotta leave it there.
