How do I know if my systems any good?


I'm not able to leave my house due to a long-standing injury, so I'm unable to hear anyone else's system. I could list out my components but not sure what that would achieve.  Lets assume they're all fine pieces.

what are the things that should be considered when listening and judging an audio system that combines streaming and home theater via bypas thru a preamp.

Maybe it's a great system.

If you like the way your system sounds and enjoy listening to it then it is good.

Assuming you’re experienced audiophile/music lover. If you listen to your system on daily basis for about a month and after every other song you hear, you still shake your head of disbelieve of how good the sound is, you just might have an excellent system to be proud of. It’s very easy to be impressed of a sound system for a day or two, but the true understanding and appreciation of a good sound takes longer time.

Why work on finding fault with your system?  A great use of time is finding more music that you enjoy. Try something completely new. I recently did this and have been enjoying the many forms of modern Korean music..KPop.  Hope you get out and around soon.

Very right and wise post thanks...

I never look for defect in my different audio systems... They were all evidently not very good to start with...

First we must buy the right components...

But the job dont end there as most people erroneously think...

It begin there...Any set of components must be optimized, if not the sound limitations will bother most people , at least me...

Now i  can look for music and never bother myself about sound...

But i learned non stop for few years of listening experiments...

I like Koran and chinese and japan musicians too ... 😊
