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?

there is nothing wrong with owning some "band aids" to overcome the sonic deficits of some recordings. band aids include cables, anti resonant devices and accessories.

use only when necessary.

if one configures a stereo system to minimize errors of inaccuracy, it may be possible to alter the sound of a stereo stereo system to accomodate inferior recordings.

for the majority of one's recordings one would maintain the "virtually" neutral system. for the few "bad" recordings, one could apply the bandaids, and then remove them .

thus one creates the best of both situations, the better quality recordings and the poor recordings, without incurring the wrath of shadorne and the other perfectionists on this forum.
