Not quite, Jim. Pop type recordings are mixed by their engineers for
the very best sound they can get in their control room. To say they
will sound just as good on a 'music centre' or whatever isn't the case.

AIUI sometimes they are mixed to sound the best they can _on_ _poor_
_equipment_ which compromises the reproduction on something good.

Same applies to many classical recordings and broadcasts. If nothing else
the dynamic range is usually reduced.
