Has audiophilia changed your music taste?

I never saw this post before, but for me definetly yes. Im a rocker at heart, but the fact that other types of music, such as jazz or big band for example have many more intruments involved, has me experiment more, and gives me more of a chance to really hear the full potential of my system. Of course as you get older, you like to experiment more , even if your not an audiophile..Its kind of like food..after a while, you get tired of the same old thing.

yes. I look forward to listening to my stereo/music when I get home from work. It has enabled me to expand my musical horizons. I used to listen only to rock and classical. Now I listen to jazz,blues,gospel,bluegrass,latin. I still haven't been able to appreciate opera,country,rap,new age,smooth "jazz" however. Enjoy listening.

I started out musicwise listening to my folks classical stuff...then the first rock album I ever heard was Relayer by YES...so I got into the prog rock early,,,I hated and still despise pop music to this day...

But once I started getting into audio, most of rock (crappily recorded and mixed) turned me off...so I started listening to tons of Jazz-Fusion...thats where the sound quality and chops reside hand in hand...

Then thru sample CD by Chesky and others, I got into the McCoy Tyner stuff, etc...and not in an analytical way,,,it started that way though....Now, I am on the Richard Thompson bandwagon,,,its just incredible to listen to a 4 octave singer and awesome guitar player all in one in a great system,,,

also, thank goodness for all the reissues like King Crimson, Mike Oldfield etc on HDCD, as well as the Japanese mini-LP reissues,,,

Mine did but changed back after going SET and horn or full range speakers now all the old music sounds great again metal ,punk ,oldies , most Audiophile music is so souless .P/B is depressing .JK

Change? No.

appreciate and expand? yes.
