I just realized something. When I get out of my car and turn the radio off then go inside, my home stereo sounds VERY good. If all I listen to is the home stereo for days on end, I get to wondering how I can improve it. When I hear the difference between the car and home........it's beautiful. Anyone else notice this about their systems?

I know what you mean. When I first bought the setup for my living room, I absolutely loved it because it was so much better than the one I had before it. Now that I'm used to it, it's like, "Eh. Whatever." But whenever I spend a day in the car listening to the radio, then come back inside and put something on the stereo, I'm like, "Whoa! Sweet!"

I think we all get used to our current setup. It's only contrast that helps us realize how good (or bad, I guess) our sound setup is.

It just goes to show how wide ranging this thing we call audio really is. I wonder how much better your home system would sound if you son't have any system at all in your car though?

Your home system probably wouldn't sound any better at all in that case. You would no longer have a basis for comparison, so your home system would just be your standard.

To take it one step further, when I listen to music on my computer using good quality stereo headphones, both my home sound system and my car radio sound like old technology. Smile

Depends how crappy your car system is. I've heard some nice car systems that rivaled quite a few "high-end" home systems. I'm not talking about the car systems that you can hear rattling from a block away, but thought out, balanced systems.
