Has audiophilia changed your music taste?

Not a change... - may be development. First, I was have to taylor my collection. Some of quite pleasant CDs become almost unlistenable due to bad recoding, however I discovered for myself acoustic music from Naim, expanded my limited experience with classical - for me harsh sound of complicated symphonic music and even string quartets (bad recording on bad equipment) was always the barrier...

Music has always come first for me. I have been impressed if my system does something as miraculous as make the music I have listened to somehow sound better, but ultimately it is still the performance of the music that has had my interest. More often it is that recordings sound badly recorded, and I think this awareness of recording quality -as much as I can discern it, really defines how my system has effected me. Older recordings sound less than steller.Otherwise, Audio magazines have actually expanded the scope of music I listen to simply because music reviews, interviews, etc, have introduced me to performers I was not yet aware of.

Not really!
I still listen to LPs that have one too many pops & clicks 'cuz I like the music on it very much & I'm willing to put up with the disturbance.
What audiophilia has done to me is that it has exposed me to more genres of music such as Jazz & Blues. I used to be a classic & soft rock kinda guy.
Audiophilia has also made me seek out my type of music that is well recorded rather than mass-recorded so I end up paying more per CD or per LP rather being satisfied with CDs from, say, Sam Goody or the BMG club. This, I think, is the "curse" of hi-end!

No. In fact, make that Hell no.

Its a resounding hell yes in my court . I have the same tastes as Matchstickman in that I was raised on progressive rock. Rush , Yes ELP', ZEP were always spinning as I grew up.When I became serious about the playback chain and my systems became better, rock recordings sounded worse. This concept has been covered numerous times here so I will be brief but its simple really: a high resolution playback system can not be fully realized by poor recordings. Also your appreciation of new forms of recorded music will evolve and expand as you learn to like what you are using to exact the performance of your system. I listen to my rock favorites in my car primarily now and have started liking other bizarre forms of music I would not have given the time of day to in the past . It has exposed me to so many new artists and genres and that growth has been a treasure to me. I continue to learn and be opened minded as that attitude helps me grow which in turn makes life more of a challenge . The clock is ticking and I cant wait to wake up . The minute you think you know it all is the minute you begin hearing the clock.
