Hey all. I know this may be a step backwards, but I'll ask anyways.
"CD quality" doesn't always mean "audiophile quality". It's all about how the audio was recorded/mixed/whatever. So what happens when a few of your favorite CDs no longer sound good after all your upgrading? Your new super duper audio system now reveals everything. My system currently isn't anywhere near where I plan for it to be a year or two from now, and some of my CDs have already degraded my audio enjoyment due to bad authoring/mixing/whatever.
So now what? Invest in a lower end amp or dac to help bring those bad recordings back to life? What do you guys do about this?
Oh, and I'm talking about commercially pressed CDs, not recordable CDs.
Any advice welcome.
