Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?

I think I'm at the point where my system sounds pretty good.   Great recordings sound excellent,  so good that you get a sense of the "room" ambiance .   

Poor recordings sound gritty and raw like they were supposed to I guess.   But they still are enjoyable.   

My second system sounds fantastic given it's size, it doesn't have the dynamic contrast that a larger system may have but it does a great job of communicating what's on the disc .   It gets me 75% there , I find myself listening to it a lot lately.  

I think if every track sounded perfect,  I'd be worried that is wasn't faithful to the source

I agree with you that oor recordings sound gritty and raw (the vibe I was getting the other night was bright, shrill and compressed) but I am not sure that they are supposed to sound that way.  But yes, I agree with this also:

They all sound the way they are supposed to sound and that is great. 

I I have a lot of CDs and several SACDs,, and the SQ I hear from them ranges from poor to "I like it" to mind blowingly excellent.
