Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar thing.
I've made a few upgrades to my system over the last few months and am very happy with them, as I am with the improved detail and sound of many albums I've loved for years.
But one or two albums now sound slightly less (searching for the right word here) enthralling with the extra detail.
For example, an album I've cherished for 30 years is Recurrence by The Railway Children, which always jangled away like a belter. But now, being able to pick out acoustic guitar much more easily, and electric guitar being more firmly placed in the soundstage rather than being splashed all over it it has lost something (that I guess it never really had).
Makes me feel a tad more guilty about talking to the rhythm guitarist after a gig in Wigan in 1991 and telling him he should play electric more than acoustic. In my defence I was mightily squiffy though, having downed about 9 pints in the George Orwell bar beforehand.
