Historically, most recorded music was only listened to on consoles and record players. 99 percent of consumers (including recording artists and engineers) never cared about "high fidelity". I've talked to dozens of musicians none of whom own decent playback equipment. Ironically, the one format released to cater to connoisseurs was prerecorded open reel tape which actually sounded worse!( I sent Mason Williams an open reel deck so he could listen to some of his own tapes. He was kind enough to send me copies). It's almost a fluke that many records sound as good as they do.
GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...
HI TO ALL... Made a change to isolating my speakers, so I'm pawing thru my CDs and listening for the changes/improvements - and I put in one of the all-time greats (IMHO), and I am still so disappointed in the quality of the recording:
BAT OUTTA HELL by Meatloaf (luv ELLEN FOLEY ON "... Dashboard Lights..."): UGH!
What are your personal disappointments?
Another for me: THE DANCE by Fleetwood Mac : OVERLY Bass heavy
