Does it have to sound good for you to like it?

I listen mainly to classical music.  The SQ of classical recordings is all over the place, not nearly as consistent other types of music.  Recording large orchestras is a complicated and difficult endeavor. Smaller ensembles are easier to record. So, if you listen to a great performance of an orchestral (or any) recording but have trouble with the sound will you avoid listening to it?

On the other hand, I don't want to 'imagine' how it should sound, I want to hear sounds as close to the reality as possible. It is not possible to get deep into the music if you don't hear enough of it. It makes no difference whether you are a professional musician or not, we are all to a degree musicians.

We spend our time and money trying to build great sounding systems. There is nothing worse than playing a poor sounding CD,Record or music stream. It makes you stop and think how can I fix this. Interconnects, new speakers, amps soundproofing. Just don't do it. It creates a money pit we all swirl around in
