Most of my audiophile friends are mostly music lovers first. Sure they enjoy my system and I enjoy theirs but its about the music for us and we have an appreciation for a wide variety of music. I just don't care for Gregorian Chants, Rap and Hip-Hop and neither do my friends. I particularly enjoy many types and eras of classical and jazz, my wife enjoys more modern rock from the 70s to the 90s than I do. With a good hi-end system, one can enjoy all types of music recorded since the acoustic recording era. Hearing 78s (nominal speed) on a great system is listening to direct discs much like listening to music on good horn speakers.
