What to do with bad recorded CDs

When I upgraded to Mcintosh and Accuphase - Kef speaker system, I am in heaven for the first time I started this hobby a decade ago.

I found my-self not even breathing, to capture every bit of nuance of the music... It was a great moment for me - and I am a professional musician. Rarely do I encounter such moments in live music !

Good Hifi can equal if not better live performance - for me.

But alas, heaven turned into he-- when I put on badly recorded materials. It revealed bad CDs to the point of me wanting to throw them away.

What do audiophiles do about that ? Go back to a lesser system to play these ? Or should I throw away great portion of my collection ?

OP,

I have a revealing, musical, thoroughly enjoyable, CD-based system that plainly doesn't have a problem with lesser CD's any more than with the exceptionally well made ones...by all means try some of the suggested solutions out on your system (personally I'd start by looking at some sort of power conditioning)...if that doesn't work, please send all your unwanted CD's to me!
