What in the world is going on.....


My system cost about 75000 dollars or so.  I got the rave review LP of the new Paul Simon album.....sounded pretty lousy.  I listened to the included M3P download using AirPlay through my Denon receiver and Senheisser wireless earphones, and it sounded wonderful......   What in the world is that all about....

I think my posting is irrelevant here but I too had a system close if not more in dollars to yours..I found the more I spent the less I enjoyed listening.Only a small fraction of my music library sounded "worth listening to"..Finially I figured out this was ridiculous, I dumped everything except my source,bought a modest system and listen to music a lot..The bad recorded/produced stuff sounds good to great as does  the well recorded..maybe try getting back to basics,lol

Well, bad recording will of course sound bad on anything but it will still sound better with better equipment. You are talking nonsense.


Maybe I didn't say that correctly then,,IMO if you take a poorly mastered cd and play it through a very expensive,very detailed system it will sound horrible..same cd played through a less revealing(more often a more musical one) system and to me the music presents itself better..Ive heard modest setups that blow away these high dollar, state of the art,no compromise ones...my modest setup to me is way more enjoyable than the big dollar one I had ...plus I have more money to buy music and that's always a good thing in my book.
