Notwithstanding my point that you should concentrate on the music, not the sound, there is no doubt that the quality of the sound can vary from day to day. And that difference can be significant!
Right now I’m listening to a CD (Shostakovich’s 8th Symphony with Gergiev conducting) which sounded dull and lifeless a few days ago. Today it’s blowing my socks off!
The trick is not to let that bother you so much that you can’t get past it and hear the music. This can be difficult with very dynamic music.
