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.

It sounds good when you forget that you are listening to a sound system, and just get lost in the music.

That happens more often in my car than anywhere. Probably the result of there being no distractions (other than driving of course).

 

So you're the one.  Move to the right.  The left lane is for passing not camping lost in the music.

OUps! it is not a good indication about your audio system...

Mine is low cost but i cannot even imagine listening music in my car....Yes sometimes i am lost in music in my car... (rarely because i dont listen music in my car often and anyway i did not drive anymore being retired) But i cannot be lost in sound in my car for sure...

My best to you....

 

But this remind me of a friend, the more wealthy of my friends by a large margin, very wealthy, his BMW was the costlier one, and in it his audio system cost 5 figures, and we can be lost in music each time....lost in sound? Yes and no, it is too long time for me to be sure...

Then either you are very wealthy or either your audio house system is very bad....Or you are more wealthy than i imagine and the 2 are fantastic....

In what country? Here in America the left lane is for drones. The middle lane is for trucks. The right lane is for getting on and off. So what we do here, get on and swerve through the trucks to drive slow in the left lane. Then swerve through the trucks again to exit. We used to have signs posted Keep Right Except To Pass but no one did that and so being nice Americans we caved to the lowest common denominator.
