A good recording, is a good one;a bad, a bad one. On good stuff:you hear everything also the differency of recording ,and label. You can hear it to , on the cd’s of Dire Straits: only the 2th last albums are good, ( the first 3 albums are a disaster). But there also other points: On venyl , the recordings are (much) better: directly from the “mother-tape”. On cd, and streaming , they remastered, once, twice,… filtering : and after , you go listen to a “deadh” ,flat , recording. This is the biggest problem : try to listen to the best recordings of the group :most of all they are a little bit expansive than usual. On streaming :you don’t have much choice: Here in Europe, Qobuz is the best, followed bij TIDAL,Spotify …try It out: you can’t make a horse out of a donkey. Good luck and enjoy your music !
Bad recordings and high end audio
Hello. Have decided that the kids are out of the house and I can dedicate some space and money to my long ignored hobby. What is different now is there are so few audio stores. I firmly believe in listening to products so thus I start this great new chapter of my life. The first 2 stores I went to the people were very patient with me and I listened to a ton of combinations. They asked me did I want to hear anything else and I said yes, ummm,.. how about Led Zeppelin? I received the same response from both stores which was “all Led Zeppelin recordings are horrible” except for this one version of Led Zeppelin 2…blah blah. So I said what happens if I am at home and i have a desire to play Led Zeppelin or another perceived poor recording? They did not have an answer for me nor did they play Led Zeppelin lol . I ended up ordering a pair of Magnepan 3.7i’s from a different store. 13 weeks until I get them, ouch. I am going to guess that people do listen to poor recordings on great systems because you just want to hear a particular album, right? Or am I missing something? Just looking for a bit of insight. Yes, I know they want it to sound the best so I will buy it but is that the only motivation. Or maybe they hate Led Zeppelin, lol.
