I totally agree, Justin.

There's a vast difference between a proper 2-channel stereo and listening through cheaper headphones or computer speakers or even a car stereo.

Since I upgraded my home equipment I see so many albums with different eyes. It really opened my ears and eyes to a lot of stuff and vice versa, I'm afraid. The sad part is that I've grown more and more fastidious about productions/sound.

I've never had a high end stereo and I've never gave it much thought. Nowadays I can definitely consider buying more expensive stuff.

My headphones are midprice Philips and they work great, the computer speakers are a 2.1 Logitech Z4 and they do the work just fine . . . but there is such a difference when I put an album on at my 2 channel stereo. The fullness and life it brings to the music, the depth, placing of instuments/musicians . . . a total landscape of music is brought to life with the right production.
