I think I’m raising this question because of my current setup on which good CDs are sounding wonderful, but others not so much. I had to send my vintage CJ preamp out for repair three weeks ago and have replaced it temporarily with a solid state unit. This problem was not really so evident when the CJ was in the system and performing optimally. I guess I’ll have to patiently wait til I get it back to get consistency.
Accuracy vs. Enjoyment
Would you rather have a system that accurately portrays the grooves (or pits) in the record or CD,
or one which sounds good on the majority of discs?
Acknowledging that not all media are created equal, the best system will sound best on the best, most accurate discs. But what if the great majority of average sounding discs don’t measure up, and indeed are annoying compared to the best?
What then?
