New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Maybe the problem is your system

<< all I want is to sit in my listening chair and enjoy the experience of music. But too often, even in music that I dearly love, I simply can't get past the recording quality and through to the music. >>

I have observed this phenomenon in many (highly regarded) systems. It is usually excused as "this (fill-in-the-blank) is so good that it lets you hear all the flaws of the recording".

However after a lot of experimentation, I don't think this is actually the case. Instead, I believe that the equipment is adding irritating grunge and hash that is making the recording difficult to listen to. I think it is possible (although not necessarily easy) to get a great system with incredible resolution AND still have it be more than listenable with below-average recordings.
