What in the world is going on.....

I own Stereophile Class-A equipments. The Stereophile recommended disks sound great, but most of my other favorite music sound OK, or sound horrible with my B&W 800D... A friend of mine told me it's nothing unusual.

"Well, bad recording will of course sound bad on anything but it will still sound better with better equipment. You are talking nonsense."

Inna, I honestly feel differently. My current high resolution system unveils the badness of the bad recording more than the ordinary stereo I had before. It's very annoying for me to keep listening to bad sounding recording with my high resolution system, even I love them. Now I listen to them only with Bose in my car. My friend said that high resolution system is rather selective, and I didn't disagree.

inna, thank you for the response. I agree, the problem is I'm now too conscious of the sound quality of the recoding after I bought my high resolution system. Once I accustomed to it, it would be OK, I wish.

I heard this recording on Tidal HiFi, and it sounds good to me. This is not a particularly bad sounding recording, I think.
