Your system quality vs. recording quality


This is what I find frustrating.  Some recordings sound amazing, even better with a great system.   And then there are recordings that just don’t sound good.  And these recordings are from very good performers (why didn’t they put out a better quality recording?? Is it that difficult?).

A revealing system will highlight problem recordings.

No matter how much is spent on quality components, it’s very hard to make subpar recordings sound great.
A profound dilemma.

... A good system makes everything sound better ...
+1, @mijostyn. A good system lets you hear into the recording. We don't live in a perfect, pristine, technicolor world. If you really care about the music, the flaws in some recordings are no more than artifacts. The music can be enjoyed as a masterpiece regardless of them.
