Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records?


I listen mainly to classical music, and the quality of sound varies greatly from disc to disc.
I was wondering if that’s the case with rock, pop and the like.
Do you tend to listen mainly mostly audiophile media?

there is some music I prefer to listen to on second system, some I actually prefer in car, but sound quality doesn't stop me from listening to music I like...
No, not at all. The great majority of my time listening to music is very casual. I stream music from internet radio, Pandora, and Amazon Music all at very un-audiophile quality (it's great for discovery!). For more critical listening I have a nice library of music (mostly jazz & rock) in uncompressed flac consisting of standard Redbook and hi-res files. For me, it's all about the music.

There are wonderful, powerful historic recordings of great artists from the 30’s, 40s  and 50’s in mono, and certainly less than high quality sound that I would not want to be without, but sometimes avoid because I’d rather listen to my “system.”
Also, as we know, there are “audiophile” pressings that sound better than run-of- the-mill recordings that many in this forum would get greater satisfaction from.
@rvpiano exactly. Which is why I run a second tonearm and cartridge in my system set up specifically for mono. The sound quality of fifties mono classical is astounding and is some of the best I have. I also revel in listening to Casals for example in Japanese pressings bringing out the best from the 20s and 30s

The same is also true of pop recordings, I have a soft spot for the Chordettes for example. 

I don’t think many would count these as audiophile but they knock the socks off many of the clean but souless modern classical recordings
