Agree with Oregon Papa, degaussing is a good idea, so is ionizing the CD, so is degaussing the interconnects. In fact, can I say that almost all CDs are well recorded, it's just that there are a great number of problems in the playing of the CDs that make it appear the CDs suck. I have gone on record for many years saying that out of the box CDs by and large sound thin, unnatural, tizzy, boomy, threadbare, congealed, airless, unfocused, very distorted, two dimensional, boring and amateurish.
What to do with bad recorded CDs
When I upgraded to Mcintosh and Accuphase - Kef speaker system, I am in heaven for the first time I started this hobby a decade ago.
I found my-self not even breathing, to capture every bit of nuance of the music... It was a great moment for me - and I am a professional musician. Rarely do I encounter such moments in live music !
Good Hifi can equal if not better live performance - for me.
But alas, heaven turned into he-- when I put on badly recorded materials. It revealed bad CDs to the point of me wanting to throw them away.
What do audiophiles do about that ? Go back to a lesser system to play these ? Or should I throw away great portion of my collection ?
