Title pretty much says it all. For me I’m a music fan first and an audiophile second. Sometimes I’m in a car without a great system or using an inexpensive Bluetooth speaker and I still want to enjoy music. I often listen to very different music.
When it comes to newer albums I have been enjoying Sandy Denny’s home recordings and the new collection of Sylvester piano demos. I like everything from abba to 80s and 90s dance music. This is a bit of an oddball answer, but I also love listening to MFSL audiophile masters to stretch the legs of a mediocre system. It’s kind of amazing listening to the MFSL version of the nirvana or pixies albums in my base Honda fit’s stereo or Tapestry by Carole King if I have boomers in the car.
I’m curious what everyone else listens to on cheap consumer systems.
Many of the MTV Unplugged shows were recorded to sound good no matter what the medium.
That’s a great one. I love listening to 10,000 maniacs unplugged in cars or even just on my cellphone.
