Does it have to sound good for you to like it?

I listen mainly to classical music.  The SQ of classical recordings is all over the place, not nearly as consistent other types of music.  Recording large orchestras is a complicated and difficult endeavor. Smaller ensembles are easier to record. So, if you listen to a great performance of an orchestral (or any) recording but have trouble with the sound will you avoid listening to it?

I think most all of us prefer listening to a good recording but if the music that I love is only available on a poor recording I will still listen to it.

London Calling by the CLASH, was recorded to sound rough. But was quite smooth. Don't sign anything you don't understand.
