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.
"Angels on pins, I’m counting angels on pins...." All audio can sound ’good’, until it hits the listeners’ ears. I’m somewhere betwixt the last 2.... |
hilde45 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). |
