Step by step my system gets better. And the poorer records come along with the system, most of the time. When I hear music that I have heard many times in the car or radio then I hear it on my system it is always a pleasant surprise.
Recordings are rarely left alone i.e. remastering, remixing and even rerecording. Many recordings are muffled, muddy, over-miked, guitar one channel, guitar player on the other or too much effects or gimmicks. Few times, this really can be all you concentrate on while listening.
Another problem I run into since streaming: the volume of the recordings. This can mean a difference of 9 am to 12pm on the dial. This happens after remastering or new recordings are recorded that way out of the gate.
One should not sit there and be obsessed with recordings. Enjoy. Now, if you know a recording is well done and you want to evaluate, pick these out, otherwise just play what you like or let you or your streaming service pick out songs.
