I have argued this point many times. Sure a better system makes good recordings sound their best, but as the saying goes, Your Can't Polish A Turd. You can only reproduce what's on the recording. No amount of money spent is going to change that. IMHO.
Is Recording quality the real culprit?
We spend Thousands on trying to improve the sound of what we listen to. But isn’t it really more of a problem that we can’t really overcome, eg. Recording quality? It’s so frustrating to have a really nice system and then to be at the mercy of some guy who just didn’t spend the time to do things better when things were being recorded.
Fortunately many artists make sure things are done well, but so many just don’t make it happen.
It can sound really good but just doesn’t have that Great quality we desire.
So why are we wasting our time spending so much money on audio equipment?
