Extraordinary recordings on vinyl

One/I, could/will, make a point that with all of the differences in varying recordings by varying artists in varying venues with varying electronics/acoustics, in the analog or digital era that, it is a good thing that (in my system) all of these varying differences are laid out for me to hear. I'm really glad that the vast majority of my collection doesn't sound similar. This, (IMO), would not be a system/room that I could honestly make recommendations on for sonics or electronics or extraordinary lps. Peace!

I too, apologize for "hijacking" this thread. It belongs to everyone. I felt that since I originated it, that I have a certain responsibility to "oversee it" to a degree.

I feel that this discussion was important in that, to me, it lets one see the difference between setting up one's system with a certain goal in mind that is either to do one of the following two things:

(A) Enjoy your record collection with primary goal being enjoying most recordings as much as possible disregarding the variances of differing recording venues, techniques, locations, live/studio, digital/analog, etc....or..
(B) Enjoy your record collection with the primary goal being listening to what's on the lp and being able to discern this for better or for worse.

If you agree with these two points, I think an appropriate question would be, which point makes the most sense in being able to evaluate and make a recommendation regarding sonics on a various recordings? This is the essence of what this hobby is all about, IMO.
