In Reply to: Crappy CD's quality...is there any way to find out their audio quality prior to purchasing ? posted by Carl G on December 6, 2014 at 16:05:17:
...IIRC, J. Gordon Holt even created a "law" regarding sound quality: "Good recording, bad performance: Bad recording, good performance" or something like that. I've got plenty of audiophile direct-to-disc recordings from the 70s & 80s that are absolute proof of the first part of the law. The sound is spectacular but the music/performances are dreadful.
I've learned to listen thru the bad stuff if I like the music. Just an opinion but I think you really limit yourself if you insist on only good recordings. As unbelievable as it may seem, great sound isn't always at the top of the list of an artists priorities.
