Has audiophilia changed your music taste?

Cdc I don't think any system can make all music sound good.
A point many Audiophiles seem to miss that even a crappy system can distinguish between "good" and "bad" productions-I've been noticing since I had the cheapest system as a teenager how music has been recorded.
Of course before everybody jumps on me I think most of us pursue great audio reproduction because it enhances the listening experience.
Your stereo cannot change what you listen to only you can.
Some people persue the hobby for different reasons as this thread indicates and that's fine.
Isn't one of the greatest aspects of a great upgrade in your system going through your collection again?
When I do this I never think I must rush out and get some better recorded music.
But sure some people have real problems with how badly they perceive music to be recorded.............
I'm not saying badly recorded music isn't a problem,it can be but I simply don't approach music this way a great album badly recorded is still a great album.
Nothing's perfect.

No. My tastes have changed. I listen to fewer symphonies and big bands and more small ensambles. I believe my tastes would have evolved much the same way had I lived in an age prior to sound reproduction.

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,,,
