The “WOW!”: What’s a track, album, or artist you never appreciated until you heard it on quality gear?
The “YECH”: What‘s a track, album, or artist you thought sounded fine or even good until you heard it on a revealing, high-end system?

For some weird reason, most of Zeppelins’ albums sound thin and shittiy on my system…its really weird.
I found the only way to hear Zeppelin at its best is on a very good vinyl rig playing the Classic Records pressings. They sound great.
Tried many others pressings and CDs, but if Jimmy Page has had anything to do with the remastering you can be guaranteed it will sound too bright and have very little bass.
Totally bass shy, yes. And not very dynamic. Zeppelin is the best example.
Listen to the remasters.
Physical Graffiti and Coda are alright but those early albums are rough!
The remastered versions of Zeppelin albums found on Tidal sounds absolutely amazing on my system. Interesting to hear this from y’all…
Agree, the remastered zeppelin sounds amazing, just a lowered level so you have to turn it up more. I use Since I’ve Been Loving You on III as a demo track. Also the remastered Beatles is incredible, Come Together another great reference track.
Modern recordings can use much lower frequency levels that older recordings simply don’t have. Too much bass on a record would make the stylus jump out of the groove.
