Has your HiFi changed your musical tastes

music and sound are different phenomena. what determines preference for specific music is independent for what type of "sound" one likes.

thus , my musical tastes have changed very little since i was in high school. I have always liked jazz and classical, but occasionally listen to "new age", especially electronic-based music and some blues and bluegrass. my expension into other musical genres had nothing to do with sound quality.

Radiohead- I first heard them when most of my music listening was in a car. Not all that impressed. 18years later, on a high resolution setup, I really enjoy a lot of their stuff.

An audiophile maxim . I don't like music I just like the way it sounds .

Furtwangler- old recordings/technology. But the magic's there, and more of it is heard with a quality setup.
Which is why I'm into the hardware.
