What is so sad is the many folks will spend tens of thousands of $$ on equipment to make crappy recordings sound good.
I love the music of Dmitri Shostakovich
"Making crappy recordings sound better than they otherwise might" is more like it."Making crappy recordings sound better while making good recordings sound worse" would be even more like it. Adding enough sugar to make shit taste good can only make proper food taste much too sweet. We should be careful when making things. Is making a thing that works for us *most of the time* the best that we can do?
To a certain extent at least, there are some things you can do to "make ALL recordings sound better" to YOU than they otherwise would. In other words, we can personalize our system in various ways. "Make your system sound good to you while making it sound worse to almost everyone else"?

Actually a bad system make most recordings sound like crap, the better system resolves more from the avg recording rendering less as crap.
What you are saying might work out to be true in some cases. But, I still think that if a system is "resolving" enough to pull the beautiful details from a pile of shit whenever you want it to, it must also be a system that is resolving enough pull out the gory details whenever you DON'T want it to. In reality, we *customize* the sound of our systems to a degree in order to make the majority of our favorite recordings sound as good as possible to our ears, and sometimes a more resolving system might help us achieve that, sometimes not.In any case, if there is a magic something that can make all crappy recordings sound better, I don't think that something should be called "resolution".
