Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?

How do you know if it is the recording or your system?

By way of example with a focus on bass, for some songs I like the amount of bass, then another song I feel like it needs more bass to hit harder, and then another song I feel like there is too much bass and it is boomy. Does that ever happen to you? I feel like I am getting the treble sorted out, but going back and forth on the bass.

Can anyone listen to the first 20 second of the song Temptation by Diana Krall from the Girl In The Other Room album and let me know if there is a bass component that is a bit much? The vocals sound good so no issue there.

Thanks.

@ghdprentice +1.  I find myself almost always being drawn into the music rather than listening to my system. I often find myself tapping my feet in time.  I never really thought about it the way you expressed it.

Hard to say since it’s relative to what you like and how your system sounds but it sounds good on mine.  Definitely bass presence but not too much.  There are a few songs that sound anemic on my system but that’s just the recording since others sound full.  I was just listening to an album that sounds “thin”, Van Halen 1984.  Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours sounds fantastic and is the sweet spot for how I like songs recorded.
