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.

Cool answers! I always choose the music first and even my analogue setup allowes me to "adjust" my tonearm to a different styles of music. Currently it's "positioned" to a Rock/Fusion with bright upper mids. Guess what? I lift it up a little higher from newtral position. On the other hand I had a little frustration that my rock collection became to sound dim with pretty musical units. I talked over specialists and they advised me to play with VTA which gives you wider possibilities to adjust your needs. Certainly, I do sacrifice for music and still continue to have fun.
