It's true, better, lower distortion systems expose the quality of the recording, good and bad. My solution for the bad? Listen at lower levels and use the tone controls, or play the bad recordings as background music.
Is upgrading worth it?
I know I'm probably asking the wrong folks. I'm sure most people would upgrade their system any chance they got but at what price? I noticed the more I try to improve my system the less my music collection become listenable. Higher resolution? So much of the music I enjoyed growing up sounds more listenable on my 1970's Marantz receiver and Advent speakers so anything I do now seems like a step backwards. I need to have two systems, one for high quality audiophile approved music and a system for all the rest. Does anyone else feel this way?
