What in the world is going on.....


My system cost about 75000 dollars or so.  I got the rave review LP of the new Paul Simon album.....sounded pretty lousy.  I listened to the included M3P download using AirPlay through my Denon receiver and Senheisser wireless earphones, and it sounded wonderful......   What in the world is that all about....

I own Stereophile Class-A equipments. The Stereophile recommended disks sound great, but most of my other favorite music sound OK, or sound horrible with my B&W 800D... A friend of mine told me it's nothing unusual.
inna, thank you for the response. I agree, the problem is I'm now too conscious of the sound quality of the recoding after I bought my high resolution system. Once I accustomed to it, it would be OK, I wish.
"Well, bad recording will of course sound bad on anything but it will still sound better with better equipment. You are talking nonsense."

Inna, I honestly feel differently. My current high resolution system unveils the badness of the bad recording more than the ordinary stereo I had before. It's very annoying for me to keep listening to bad sounding recording with my high resolution system, even I love them. Now I listen to them only with Bose in my car. My friend said that high resolution system is rather selective, and I didn't disagree.
I heard this recording on Tidal HiFi, and it sounds good to me. This is not a particularly bad sounding recording, I think.
