Feels like I need to browse thorugh my entire collection to see what Rick Rubin production I actually have. Probably a lot, Beastie Boys, Slayer, Johhny cash, Masters of Reality, I could go on.

Yes, I have many, many more. Chili Peppers best to be listened to on vinyl though, the digital versions have a very poor dynamic range. Half of the time you can't even hear what is going on. I have the Stadium Arcadium 4LP set and when the title track sets in it's like Chad is in my living room. Compare that to the horribly compressed CD and the night and day difference is scary.

Is there a budget level system which would highlight such a dramatic difference, or can it only be experienced on high end gear?

It's audible for me on anything, the difference between a source recording with a low dynamic range vs a source recording with a higher dynamic range is not difficult to spot.
This is not a discussion on medium (which is a different debate). Listen to an original first issue CD from the late 80s with a high dynamic range and then listen to the same 'remaster' that has been compressed and the dynamics are pushed close to the max. It tires the ears. Some people prefer the remasters, I think many of us here would prefer the originals.
