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 I get up to find more music and realize it is 3 am and I should have been in bed a few hours ago!

I guess you know it sounds good when it's fully loaded with expensive Synergistic Research wires and widgets. 

@ted_denney You should pose the same original question on ASR and Whatsbest and writeup a comparison of the responses. That would be entertaining! Cheers,

When your wife looks up from her phone and goes "this sounds different, did you buy something new?".

Sadly we’ve got some angry birds here as well. Very strange in a hobby that’s all about enjoying your stereo, which is wholly subjective, there are people who have a significant problem with this, to the point of religious fervor. Fanaticism.
