The better ones hi-fi Is the better ALL Vinyl/cd's will sound. I was not surprised at the choice of music at this years Denver hi-fi show (same as last years show) the exhibitors were playing mostly easy listening, sounds good on any system stuff like blues/jazz. I always take along cd's that I know give gear a hard time. I mainly listen to old Brit goth/Indie music and I know that they are not generally very well produced for the most part In hi-fi terms but If they sound good then the system will make well recorded stuff sound excellent. If a cd sounds poor Is it the fault of the cd or the gear It Is played through? My thoughts are the latter Is the culprit.My thoughts only.
Compromises (recording quality)
I was wondering how others deal with the eternal problem of great music that has been poorly recorded...Do some of you specifically build your system to be as forgiving as possible, or have two different systems or what? I know you can't put garbage in and get tolerable sound out out without great sacrifices to wonderfully recorded music....or (hopefully) am I wrong?
