You enjoy listening. Nothing wrong with that, not at all.
Listening to music I don’t particularly like
Do you find yourself listing to music you don't particularly like because it sounds so good on your system? If I'm honest with myself I am an old dude who grew up with classic rock and really enjoy it but a lot of it was not well recorded. So I find myself listening more and more to other genres of music that I normally wouldn't just because they sound so good on my system. I don't know what this says about me, maybe I am more of an "equipmentphile" than a music lover? I keep listening to music ranging from classical to vocal jazz to country and I love the sound of it but it doesn't get my toes tapping like a good old rock song from my youth. I was even listening to Chinese drums today. Is there hope for me? Will I ever ever enjoy this music as much as I enjoy the "sound"?

I don't listen to music i like which is not well recorded or i liste to such music in my car. I was and still remain a rock fun but no more listen to most of the rock. There are though exceptions. Blues,bin general, is better recorded, there are recordings of quite acceptable quality of Jimi Hendrix, Erick Clapton, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, etc. Emerson Lake and Palmer and King Crimson albums have tolerable SQ unlike Genesis and Jethro Tull. But the majority of artists i listen regularly are jazz and classical musicians. There are 1950s jazz recording which sound better than almost any rock and many temporary jazz albums. In classics, for me, ADD CD s sound better than DDD ones. |
Alot goes into putting together a hifi system that pleases the owner. One element is being honest about what sorts of music, from what sources, and then making the sure the system plays that in a really pleasing way consistently. |
Lately, I don’t dry music at all, I want |
