the amazing experiance of hearing a great recording on a great system far outweighs the drawbacks on bad recordings. if you've ever heard well-recorded music come alive, you will not want to settle for a less revealing system that makes bad recordings more listenable. isn't that kinda what this hobby is all about...to push the envelope of music reproduction at home? a boombox would suffice if we just wanted to enjoy music. just my $0.02.
better gear, worse recordings
ever notice that the better the gear you own, the worse some recordings sound?
some recordings you grew up with that were eq'd for lp's now sound flat and lifeless or the musical background is revealed as less captivating than it appeared on mediocre equipment
a few other rare jems show even more detail and are recorded so well that the upgrade in equipment yields even more musicality
I have my opinions, would like to here what artists you think suffer from the former or benefit from the latter
thanks
