My question is directed to everybody. Everyone is welcome to chime in. Maybe I won't go so far as to post a
poll.
Thanks for your response JCD. I
think I feel the same way, but I'll have to listen for myself and let you know my final answer.

I've also heard some sound engineers purposely alter a track so it will sound better on a lesser system. Pure hearsay, but I have heard it a couple of times.

If you're not being sarcastic (I'm slow) or to inform the uninformed, then the extreme example is TV. High pass filters and dynamic compression/volume leveling galore. Sometimes to the point of distraction. All to try to make it listenable on TV speakers.
Dynamic compression is very often overdone to make stuff listenable on cheap CD players in noisy cars. An "audiophile" recording is very hard to listen to in that circumstance.
