Or, in my case my GP comes round to see me on a medical matter, notices my speakers, asks to listen and ends up requesting Dire Straits and hears stuff he's never heard on his 'hifi'.

.....you are listening to the music  and not to the equipment.

Edit. That's a very dull answer - It's really when you're  rockin out  while eating rice and beans...as you've blown the food budget on music........AGAIN!

... your girlfriend says "That does sound good".

However, if she says something like "It's as if a veil has been lifted from the speakers" or "Have you changed something without my knowledge?" or "There's definitely more... air and space" then it's definitely not my girlfriend, nor any woman I've ever met Smile

The majority of your recordings sound (vaguely) like a live performance.
