When someone says their system sounds good with most recordings. Sure the system must be forgiving or colored in order to sound good with most recordings. That's your point isn't it?A system whose emphasis is on music sounds musical with the large majority of recordings regardless of recording quality (yes better recordings sound better but less good recordings still bring the musical rewards), and a system whose emphasis is on recorded details sounds as good or bad as the recording is regardless of the music it contains.
I think it has more to do with building a musical system than building a forgiving system. It's funny to me that so many audiophiles have systems that sound bad with so many recordings - I mean doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a good stereo to begin with.
There's not much funnier than hearing some audiophile complain about unlistenable or poor recording quality of most pop/rock releases - it just boogles my mind how many people who are into this kind of music actually foollow the guidence generally presented by many so called audio experts. IMO the ultimate humiliation of a former rock/pop music lover happens when they start buying Chesky or other such releases so their systems will sound good. LOL!!!!
Give me rhythm or give me death!
