Check your speakers etc.

Do you still like attending classical concerts? If so, get rid of the speakers, amp, preamp and source selectively. I HATED violin recordings of any kind for decades and just loved to hear them in person. Often it is the upper end of the midrange(curse the designer that crosses over too high) driver and also the dreaded metal tweeter. Rock can sound great with stuff that will just murder classical.

My hearing went very high and the obnoxious tweeters and bad amps that are endemic drove me nuts. Middle age be praised!!! With the loss of some top end hearing (sadly, not common in women), I can now enjoy classical recordings a great deal more. I now understand why friends told me the recordings sounded so real(IMO, they still don't but, I get the similarity now).
