@mahgister,
’But you seems to say that the more we improve the system less cd or files you have to listen to because they are too bad sounding...’
Not quite.
I’m merely saying, as Steve also said in his video, that beyond a certain point, an increase in resolution can often serve to make certain recordings sound worse.
Not unlistenable. Far from it. Just not as good as you might be used to hearing them on ’lesser’ systems.
Or maybe more appropriate systems?
In fact as I’m listening to my Mamas & the Papas CD I can very well hear the severe limitations of the recording. I still love the songs though.
If I was to use even more resolving loudspeakers than my Tannoy Berkeley’s I would only hear those bandwidth/resolution defects (caused by excessive Phil Spector-style bouncing down) even more clearly.
That’s the point. Certain recordings might sound better on less ambitious systems.
No way I’m giving up on listening to the Sex Pistols or Motorhead just because my system is too revealing for music that was never particularly designed to be played back on it.
