From mapman

“It’s never a good sign when a music lovers conclusion is most music is not recorded very well. Time to learn to appreciate recorded music better or maybe find another hobby.

on the other hand it’s common for an audiophile to make that claim because most music fails to meet their standard for good sound for either objective and/or more subjective reasons. A better hifi cannot make music that is poorly done sound the way they wish it would.

It’s all a losing proposition

Better for all to accept each recording for what it is: a unique work of art. Each will sound somewhat different. The rational goal is to be able to hear whatever is there that the artist and producers intended then either like it or not.

There is no rule that says all works of art must be technically perfect Where would impressionist artists like Monet be if that were the case?”

EXACTLY!

In an optimal room/system acoustics, everything sound better because it is better perceived...I listen great musician badly recorded too ...

I am interested by the acoustic translation from the recording , good or bad... If i love some music , the sound bad sound recording does not matter anymore especially in a good system ...

it is more difficult to appreciate good music badly recorded in a bad ausio room/system than on a top audio room/system ...

Now what i said is meaningful for classical... In pop/ rock bad recordings are more than often simply put aside because of the poorness of the musical content and /or the easy availability of alternatives pop/rock albums  more well recorded with a better musical content ...

In classical, nothing will replace Sofronitsky interpretation of Scriabin or of Swzeryngk Bach less well recorded than other versions ... And sometimes even a very bad recording will be valuable because of a unique interpretation and a deep musical content ...

I need a good audio system especially to be able to hear better bad recordingsb with deep musical content ...I listen music not my system ...
