Genesis168 above said it well. I go for the music every time. For example, I have a 3 CD set of newly remastered Jerry Lee Lewis CDs that really boogie even though the recordings aren't that great. This CD set has rhythm and is musical. I also agree with Detlof, "audiophile" recordings can be a pain in the, well "ears". To each his own, but for me if it's not musical, it's not worth it. Test tones do have some value though. Cheers. Craig
What do you choose first SOUND or MUSIC?
Hi folks,
We all like music otherwise we wouldn't spend bucks to listen to it's best. I have a friend who has a very decent inexpencive high-end setup and he mostly sacrifices the music he likes to a beeter recorded albums. Another words does that make a sence to listen to the music that is only good recorded to get the best from your stereo system in sacrifice to what you realy like to listen? I love Jethro Tull and I know that most of its albums very poorly recorded. On the other side most of Frank Sinatra's albums are very well mastered but whenever I would play Sinatra is just for the sport to test my stereo.
