Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records?

If you find your system is limiting what you can listen too it’s a sign the system is weak in some area. Well configured systems will bring out the merits in even poorly recorded material. 

@rvpiano exactly. Which is why I run a second tonearm and cartridge in my system set up specifically for mono. The sound quality of fifties mono classical is astounding and is some of the best I have. I also revel in listening to Casals for example in Japanese pressings bringing out the best from the 20s and 30s

The same is also true of pop recordings, I have a soft spot for the Chordettes for example. 

I don’t think many would count these as audiophile but they knock the socks off many of the clean but souless modern classical recordings

I think the post “forgiving vs resolving” misses the point. At this level (let’s presume a well put together six figure system) resolving is a given. The choice is between resolving in an analytic versus musical sense. The former will render your poor recordings “warts and all” and what you focus on is the wart. The latter lets you hear beyond the problems and focus on the essence of the performance. If you want to test what sort of system you have try playing a noisy LP pressing. Do the crackles and pops lift out and separate from the music, or are they all you can hear?
