Let the best be your guide


All of us have had to come to grips with bad sounding recordings. They can be disabling and make you question your whole system. The trick is to accept them for what they are and not to generalize. I try to listen for the music and skim over the imperfections. When confronted with a clinker, to save my sanity, I play a recording i know to be superior sounding. That restores my faith  in the system and brings me back to reality.

I just posted to your records and CDs thread

This one is connected and so relevant to my day.  I upgraded speakers a few days ago.  My previous were so consistent where most everything sounded good.  My new ones are much more revealing.  Some albums blow me away and some piss me off that I have listened to 100 times and now can't stand.  I am at a crossroads where I am not sure if I can accept these lesser recordings to relish in the others.  Damn this audiophile curse lol
