I am a detail junky. If the information is on the recording i want to hear it warts and all. I dont want equipment that smoothes over everything to make all music sound "nice". At the same time i, i dont appreciate harsh. As i have modified my system i am hearing more and more of the detail on the recordings. Doesn't bother me that some cd's sound shite, i dont stop playing them because of it.
I notice the amount of sibilance recorded on some of Stevie Wonders 70's output. It must have been intentional. Radiohead sounds like a lot of noise. Alot of the modern recordings are "overdone " - very loud compared to others, reduced dynamics. BonJovi Slippery when wet - whoever recorded that must have been half deaf.
Nick Drake recordings never fail to impress along with Weather Report and the old Blue Note jazz recordings. Played The Planet Suite yesterday (my first classical listen for years) and it was wonderful.
Lets have your good and bad recordings. Come on, praise or name & shame.
