Seven eight years back or so , I was all into these Audiophile recordings , checking all the subtle nuances claimed by the host , or the liner notes , or reference material published thereof.
Have gone through the catalogue of Dali CD all four volumes , Chesky Refefence Recordings , Thorens 125th Anniversary record , several UE Demo discs ,ECM Reference CDs , the works …
And I realised 99.9% of that kind of music was sterile , antiseptic, lifeless , absolutely coma inducing.
The kind that plays on Hifi shows , in Bristol for instance where I’ve been myself.
Unless classic rock music from the seventies sounds good , especially the ones not so well recorded, like Rolling Stones Beggar’s Banquet, or a Kishore mono recording from the fifties , your setup is not good , no matter how many crores went into it.
