How do you know when a stereo sounds good?

@jerryg123 

dude you attacking me is getting old

I am not anti cabler

my comment was sarcasm pointing out holes in the OP but sarcasm  is obviously a foreign concept for you. 

I love cable

@grislybutter sure okay good deal. See you around I guess.

"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*

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.
