@brettmcee / brett - Many thanks for yours posts here. Your description of the Jimi Hendrix reel-to-reel experience hooked me in, which brought me to the story you offered on our (individual) journeys to experience the music beyond its sonic properties. I couldn't agree more with your museum analogy, and every recording is indeed a gift.
It turns out some of my most cherished tracks are, in part, favored for their very obvious compromises in recording and/or transcription fidelity (i.e. 7th generation recordings....). Depending on the music and lyrics of a given track, a rough recording can be integral in delivering a more impactful experience than if the recording was clean and pure. Thank you for your thoughts!
