I love hearing well-recorded music on my fairly neutral and revealing
system. The complete suspension of disbelief and the unclouded “they are here” or “I am there” experience is one of the pure joys in my life, and there are tons of very good recordings out there that keep me more than happy — especially now with streaming through Qobuz. Squashing or limiting that for the sake of benefiting poor recordings seems sacrilegious to me, and if I want to listen to crap or lesser recordings I listen to them on a cheap mini system or Alexa where they’re more at home anyway. But that’s me.
