Should music critics also be audiophiles?


Now that I’m into audio, I’d much rather read a music review that can discuss the technicalities of the recordings in addition to musical context and achievement.

I can enjoy a crappy recording of a really great piece of music.

I can enjoy a fine recording of a song that is just okay otherwise.

Just like anything else that has various measures of quality it is the masterpiece that encompasses them all.

A music critic could and should be able to discuss all the aspects of what makes a piece of music bad, good or great.
