I see there are two main strands in music makers:
those that are most
interested in and sensitive to the sound, and those that are mainly
hearing the content. I seem to be in the latter. I am happy listening to a
less than excellent recording of a great performance, but can't be
bothered with a mediocre performance, no matter how much $$$ was thrown at
the gear used.
Great point - I was listening to Hot and Nasty by Humble Pie today - if
you turn it up you can hear the hiss. It's still great. Same with
White Rabbit and any number of older recordings. I'd much rather look
at a beautiful woman through a dirty window than be up close and
personal with a real barker ;-)
