Sometimes a recording isn't great even though the music is. I have some OLD Louis Armstrong like that. I would think that a music lover would listen anyway while just an audiophile would shy away because it does not show off the system.I guess I'm in both camps, good and bad.
The good; I have many bad recordings that I still listen to and even some MP3 onto disc only because it's the only format that happens to have certain musical pieces.
The bad; I usually don't like to play those things when folks are over because it sounds odd.
One interesting note; I found that a speaker with a real flat response actually sounds better than the ones which are tweaked with bumps in the bass and treble on many of the bad recordings. I expected the opposite. I wonder if it's the midrange that really comes into play with those old recordings which are severely rolled off on either end.
Perhaps we need to make categories of "bad". I'll stop here because this is can of worms.
