Tmsorosk, Just met a dealer of fine audio equipment and he has very set opinions, so just because many of us have been at it for awhile is no guaranty that we will approach it with an open mind. I know I get some flack for thinking people will listen to what I play for a demonstration instead of just reacting to the music as to whether they like it or not.
Orpheus10, agree partially with you, yes in trying to get the most out of this or that record it has caused me to work on my whole system, and once that one was taken care of reasonably well, search for a new record that gave my system problems. The selection of cartridges is indeed a way to advance or hear more of what you like in the music.
So yes it is the music that leads us on, but isn't that based on our prejudices for this or that music genre?
