Bad recordings and high end audio

Hello. Have decided that the kids are out of the house and I can dedicate some space and money to my long ignored hobby. What is different now is there are so few audio stores. I firmly believe in listening to products so thus I start this great new chapter of my life. The first 2 stores I went to the people were very patient with me and I listened to a ton of combinations. They asked me did I want to hear anything else and I said  yes, ummm,.. how about Led Zeppelin? I received the same response from both stores which was “all Led Zeppelin recordings are horrible” except for this one version of Led Zeppelin 2…blah blah. So I said what happens if I am at home and i have a desire to play Led Zeppelin or another perceived poor recording? They did not have an answer for me nor did they play Led Zeppelin lol . I ended up ordering a pair of Magnepan 3.7i’s from a different store. 13 weeks until I get them, ouch. I am going to guess that people do listen to poor recordings on great systems because you just want to hear a particular album, right? Or am I missing something? Just looking for a bit of insight. Yes, I know they want it to sound the best so I will buy it but is that the only motivation. Or maybe they hate Led Zeppelin, lol.

whart, I recall the Diablo....beautiful car from wherever it may have been from...;) *S*
"Look....but don't touch."
I assume drooling on it is a non-starter as well?
*Baleful stare, while the 'muscle' off-stage rubs their knuckles...*
K', bye...(broken ribs don't show...)

The red pony's attractions in that era...varied...you can have a svelte car or near F1....

Always a Lotus fan from afar.....;)

Spoilt since...*G*

Yes! Go haunt dealers....take a thumb drive with the familiar in it.
Chicago, Atlanta, new source....it’s all the same street....

Make them play more by your rules than theirs....respectfully, of course. ;)

Have Fun, as it ought to be.

👍, J

The only rush is your desires. ;)

A bad recording is a bad recording i had the maggies 3.6 with the cello duet etc etc for me it keep still bad. For me is the big guestion why they throw all this crap  recordings at the market? When the cd is recordered they listen also on the end is there nobody who say’s we cannot sell this product. And fire the sound engineer because. Why there are so very good recordings and more bad recordings? With the current technology it must be happend anymore. And the people who are writing they van make from a bad recording with there equipment a good recording dream on. A friend of mine had the .20 with 4 cello performance the suit etc etc 300k the whole equipment and bad was bad.
Sorry for mine writing i am from the Netherlands.
