Presto - I believe for those of us that have ultra-resolving systems, that we are prone to do exactly this, collect and playlist only great recordings. Everything else (lower quality recordings) is just listening to a boombox. Uninvolving, uninspiring.I have Deja-Vu, one of the favorites of my youth from CS&N and I love the music, but the record quality really sucks. I cannot stand to listen to it. I had this on vinyl at one time, but my system also sucked at that time. Now it just gathers dust on the CD shelf. I ripped one or two tracks, but they still suck... Pat Metheny - same thing. I ripped more tracks from these and at least one live concert is not bad, so about 2-3 times a year I listen to it. Mosly not, it is just a dissappointment.
These recording engineers could do so much better IMO. The level playing field that Pro-Tools and other S/W has created has raised the overall quality of recordings a bit, because former "garage-studios" can produce much higher quality output now, but the really good studios with lots of experienced recording engineers are going under, and those are are still with us are using the same tools/hardware as the garage guys...
