Care to elaborate?
Do you really think if a system plays "real world" music well, it's not a good system? I guess mine is a POS then, as it plays my 70s prog brilliantly
I think a system has to play everything - but I was thinking more of current crop of music - not the '70s. I have some amazing rock on LP and tape from that period. If you're ever out my way, would be glad to play it for you. Stupified the audience in Philip O' Hanlon's room at RMAF last year
But the point was more that how can you judge something solely with electronic music because one really doesn't have a frame of reference?
My personal favorite is a direct to disc of flamenco dancing. The cover art shows the dancer on a table top; the microphones have to be situated directly beneath the table. If it sounds like a hammer hitting you in the head, you know the system is spot on.

Could not disagree more. If my Bad Company, Who, Police, U2, Zep, Ryan Adams, or Hendrix albums can tell you much about a system, the plot is totally
lost I am afraid.

I'm rich!
I think I stole it under George Stanwick's nose at the old Tower Annex when he worked there - paid, dunno, a buck 99? Remember when they sent all the vinyl over to the store that faced Lafayette street?

Wasn't Free the predecessor band to Bad Company with Paul whatisname (died young) on guitar? (like Cossack?- loved his playing). You know, I love mainstream 70's pop sometimes over the system, but some of it does just sound pretty disappointing sonically. I bought a copy of a Gerry Rafferty album that had Baker St. on it, just cause I wanted to her that wailing sax. Played it once. It sounded like ****. Bummer.
PS the recent reissue of Hendrix in the West with that killer rendition of Red House sounds pretty good. Man, I love that cut.
I occasionally play the Gary Moore record with him sitting on the bed in the hotel room with his famous Peter Green lester.
Well what does it tell you about important musical qualities such as frequency response/extension, dynamics, timbre, resolution, etc? Most rock albums really doesn't have much low end - that is other than a hump around 100 Hz.

If it's Flamenco Fever, then it must be on M&K Realtime, same label as the Yeti Chasers. And yes, for the past 7-8 years it has consistently done $300-$500, it's not that rare as a copy or 2 come out each month. It's just pricey.

Yes, Free was the pre cursor to Bad Company. They kicked royal ass. The CDs were all remastered by Peter Mew at Abbey Road superbly.
I dunno, I never really get disappointed listening to my old classics...Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, John Martyn, Santana, even Bee Gees, Parliament, Yes, you name it.

I guess I am looking for something different. I want to trip. I want to connect to the music. For me to listen for frequency response, timbre, etc I would need to put on a white lab coat.
