What of your CD's have good sonics?


I have been amazed at the number of CD's are so bad I can't bare to listen to them on my system. It seems like over half are difficult to listen to. Vinyl seems about the same. I have been buying some classic rock albums from a local used record store and am surprised at how many of them sound bad. Most of the jazz albums I buy are usually quite good. How is it with you guys?

stehno:

you make some good points.

howevere, ultimately each one of uds has to decide why we listen to music and our expectations that result from such an experience.

i think one's stereo system refelects, implicitly that choice.

as a reviewer i have written about this psychological issue in the form of a question:

"what is the purpose of a stereo system ?"

there are several considerations of a non musical nature, such as those that concern physiological factors, such as its soporofic abilities and its palliative effects relating to health issuess.

thus, i think elizabeth's issues are irrelevant, whereas, why one listens to music is the issue here.

it's not the equipment, rather its about the psychology of human behavior--listening to music.

thus, i would say, it's not the sonics, but rather the affect upon the sonics upon one's "psyche" that is the relevant question.

don't place the cart before the horse.
i own the furutech demagnetizer and have experienece with the bedini as well.

i think the value of such a device is source depenedent. that is i have found "poor" sounding cds sound worse, while "goo to excellenet" recordings sometimes sound better.

i don't use them.

i prefer cd mats and an acoustic revive product.
