Hi there, I understand your point, however, its not the system that I have issues with-- its a few bad recordings I would like to make listenable........... My system consists of the Stereomour with Solen teflon caps in the coupling position and Mundorf Silver Gold and Oil in the output position, Cornscala's with Mundorf Mcaps in the crossovers ( love these speakers!!!) And the Eros with Mundorf Silver Gold and Oil in the output position. Love the entire system, best it has ever sounded, its poor recordings I am trying to work around.................. so what I was thinking was some type of rolloff doohicky that I can bypass for 70-75% of my recordings because they sound brilliant but engage if I so desire for the 20-25% of crappy less then stellar recordings....................

Ok, now I'm getting it! Sorry, I didnt know the specifics..Ok - crappy recordings - I can relate on that issue. Much of rock is crappy. Much of my FAVORITE rock is crappy. Here has been my solution from my system standpoint. I have upsampled my redbook to 24/96 using Sox with min. phase filter. This has solved much of the 'crappy recording' digititis. I like redbook as much as native 24/96 when it is upsampled with Sox using min. phase. Sorry, but other upsamplers need not apply. I havent tried Weiss Saracon 1.6 because it costs $1500. Still, better recordings sound better! At least the crappy recordings are enjoyable, and very listenable. Sometimes the remasters are better (Beatles, Floyd, Yes, Rush, etc.). I appreciate your efforts in your hobby. I can also appreciate your frustrations!
P.S. - love the Mundorfs!
