It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Classical music listening issue - high strings

Screechy violins are common in poorly recorded orchestral performances. The problem occurs because the radiation pattern of a violin is directional -- different frequency ranges radiate in different directions. So if violin sections are miked close and overhead, they sound screechy.

Unfortunately, there's no good solution: you have either to stick to well made recordings or equalize, and after the recording has been mixed if you EQ the violins you'll damage everything else. Some recordings are so offensive that I find I have to do that just to make them listenable.
