Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good?
An audio system can improved by increasing the details and being more revelatory can make some bad recording worse because the sound shape become better cutted... It is normal... But the more improving effect, the ultimate improvement, toward a ... 
The Law of Accelerating Returns
@mahgister gotta disagree. The technology can easily be the bottleneck once the acoustics are addressed properly. I never say that the technology has no bottleneck ... I say the opposite... read my post another time ... An integrated amp howe... 
Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers?
Because they like electronics more than speakers? It is not false... But it is not true completely ... Most love speakers too... 😁😊 But they hate the time they must need to give  learning  acoustic to control the system/speakers room... Time...

The fact that good recording sound way better does not contradict the fact that the less wellrecording begins to be interesting by the way you detect new acoustical cues... it is no more only a mess... No room system can make bad good... But a g... 
Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good?
A well tune room with a relatively good system will not transform bad recording in good one ... But ALL recordings will become interesting acoustically, because you will be able to appreciate all acoustical cues chosen by the recording engineer a... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
What were those characters in Ibsen's Peer Gynt called again?   "What is the difference between troll and man?" None which is measurable......  
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
All DACs sound the same, a cactus needle works as well as a moving coil stylus, all turntables go around and around, all amplifiers sound the same, tube preamps are just the same as solid state, and Bose makes the best speakers. Have I missed any... 
Any good video sites out there?
I think that Jay is very honest...Like the OP is also and his question legitimate ... It is not the question... I am honest also and i may use metaphor and hyperbole to communicate HONESTLY my emotion... All reviewer are not tailored on the same...
