How do you know when a stereo sounds good?

@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.

When all the types of music that you play sounds good to you. 

Jazz. Classical. Rock.  Pop. Whatever 

When your system can play it all convincingly 

When I am enjoying the music and not the system. A lot of people will refer to this as “when the speakers disappear and all you hear is the music ”. You sound like you are entering the cheating stage of audiofile. You are in love with music but a new sexy “system” is giving you a look and you start to wander and think that an affaire with “system” will be fun and “music” will never find out. Don’t overthink and and step over to the dark side. Enjoy the music and appreciate what you have.
