Yes, the warts of bad music or badly recorded music will be more obvious and perhaps at the beginning very disruptive. I contend however that the human state is VERY adaptable and that we can develop techniques to accept the lesser attempts for what they are and get some meaning. If we compare music to food, we have our haut cuisine, we have our "well cooked" standards where enjoyment is part of the package. But we also have other times where we can be greatful for even very simple fare. I think about my time in the american army when we had field exercizes and were happy to get the boiled dirt that they called "coffee" with an undescribable mush that they called stew.
Musically this could be an ABBA CD/LP or even a reel to reel recording of the high school band that I played in the early 70s. Even with no "Tone", going back in time is also an important function of my playback that transcends "quality considerations".
