Compromises (recording quality)


I was wondering how others deal with the eternal problem of great music that has been poorly recorded...Do some of you specifically build your system to be as forgiving as possible, or have two different systems or what? I know you can't put garbage in and get tolerable sound out out without great sacrifices to wonderfully recorded music....or (hopefully) am I wrong?

It has taken me about 30 component changes but I finally have it so that poor recordings are recognizeably poor - but not irritating. It is very hard to balance transparency with forgiving sound but if you try hard enough, it can happen. I hear music like never before and I'm not afraid anymore to play something that might not have the best engineering backing it.

Although I admit to making use of my C42's EQ to help out the bad recordings. It's necessary to keep great recordings sounding great because no system should try to please everything. That would be too much of a compromise IMO.
