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.

When a system has the ability to electronically resurrect dead musicians & they are in the room with you. 

When presented with a proposition that is demonstrably false, I’m probably obtuse as well.

As @roxy54 noted, this self-awareness factoid - despite being a falsity in itself and a convenient deflection by the OP - does not address the primary and fundamental error and is completely irrelevant and/or has no meaning in the context..

It seems that I am in the minority of people who recognise speech that is intended to persuade but has little regard for truth.

I know it’s good when I have to switch one of these in for extra long listening sessions. (Pic of toilet seat)

@dekay  Me too. When having a restroom break is the last thing you want to do.

Perhaps I'm beginning to understand Mr Denney's target audience.

I get what you’re asking. But it’s close to impossible to answer. If it sounds good to your ears then it’s good. You can listen to other systems in other rooms and it will surely sound different. But is it better? Possibly but the only way to tell is to listen to it in your room. Not always feasible. For me, I’m over the top with my system and that’s all that matters.
