Over the years I've found myself looking for well recorded music.... clarity maybe even first over content but I do have to like the music first.
How does sound influence your appreciation?
Since I’ve gotten my system to a very good place, I find myself liking the performance of almost everything I hear. Now in classical music, there are sometimes dozens of performances of the same piece, each performance having its own unique take. I now seem to like every interpretation I hear regardless of differences, due to the great sound. I’m losing my discernment because the sound is so much a part of the equation. This is more true of orchestral music than other types
How about you?

I have often wondered does my kit dictate the music I listen to? I recently purchased a pair of Kef Reference Ones and could not stop listening to Rock and Roll, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd. . I also own a set of Soundlab A3s. With these I listen to more singer song writer, easy listening type and jazz. I definitely agree, when the music sounds better it is easier to get into new genres and enjoy more music. |
+1 Yep …. me too. For like reasons, I generally choose my live concert event attendance influenced on the venue acoustics . To fully appreciate live performances by somebody like Diana Krall, Chris Botti, Celtic Woman dictates a stepped up good acoustics venue . Sure…I splurged on rare occasion for first section floor seats in a 22000 seat arena for mega star rock groups (Eagles, Fleetwood Mac ).. Crap acoustics be damned . I can only imagine how stellar the latter could sound in a smaller “proper” venue . |
@rvpiano I don’t think your system is homogenizing everything. So it’s just a phase you are going thru since you have good synergy between components, room and your ears. Enjoy it. You’re going to get your discernment back. Nothing to worry about. |
