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

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

you may be on to something missioncoonery.   

The issue is not with my volume control. The problem is what happens when you send too hot a signal to the cutter head, which, IME caused the minor sibilance issues. This could have been avoided with more care. It is not terrible but it is there. And, once you hear it, there is no avoiding it.

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

That's the best answer of discussion. Even if he's perfectly recorded and mastered, he would still sound crap.
