What do you choose first SOUND or MUSIC?

Hi folks,

We all like music otherwise we wouldn't spend bucks to listen to it's best. I have a friend who has a very decent inexpencive high-end setup and he mostly sacrifices the music he likes to a beeter recorded albums. Another words does that make a sence to listen to the music that is only good recorded to get the best from your stereo system in sacrifice to what you realy like to listen? I love Jethro Tull and I know that most of its albums very poorly recorded. On the other side most of Frank Sinatra's albums are very well mastered but whenever I would play Sinatra is just for the sport to test my stereo.

I have heard some very well recorded "audiophile" recordings of what is just useless noise. Some of it was funny for awhile because the music was just so awful and my wife or friends would make fun of me for buying it.
Music comes first. Listen to what you like. If your favorite music does not sound good on your system, then maybe you have gone "too far".
Occaisionally, you will find some new music you like because you have read about it in audiophile publications.
Some of the most knowledgable people that I have met who really know alot about music itself and who are avid music collectors, have very average sound systems. Some musicians I have met have average sound systems. What does that tell you?
