Given the lack of universality of CDs and esp classical CD's its impossible to "trust your ears" as you so helpfully suggest as most stores don't have demo versions. Normally its not possible to return a CD if you don't like the sound quality or performance, hence its a very expensive proposition to trust your ears. Your admonition may work very well for audio equipment, but its unhelpful wrt recordings. The advice to trust friends etc goes without saying.
