Audiophile music

Hi most audiophiles shop, listen, analyze, discuss how sounds classical and mainstream jazz in vast majority of cases.

How about some punk, noise, progressive rock, industrial, acid, experimental?
Clash, Ramones, Husker Du, Fear, Sisters of Mercy, White Stripes, Suns of Arqa, Knack, Skinny Puppy, Smiths, Morissey, Ministry, Acid Mothers Temple and other kool and noisy rock?
My collection is at or over 50% of titles above and I like noisy and creative bands.

Would you play this type of music let's say on $6-figure setup with tubes, Verdier or similar TT, MBL or similar components, Pipe Dreams or similar level speakers?

When I visited first time AudioConnection store, I brought White Stripes. After trying White Stripes in his big Vandersteen 5(back than) room, I realized that it's not the type of music for the system he demoes. I only liked Vandy 5 with chamber orchestra(amplified with Cary V12), symphony orchestra or big band.

I tried horns. Getting tired of them very quick. I like liquid sound of my dynamic Aerials that seem to fit any kind of music and I like my mid-fi amp as well. Equipmentwise unlike audiophiles I reached the final sonic nirvana and did not upgrade my rig for the past 6...7 years.
I only purchased Mytek 192 DAC/Preamp that replaced my mid-fi Classe 30 preamp that started intermittedly humming. I spotted at least few bad looking DC caps, but still opted selling it and move funds toward Mytek purchase.

This is a very vague question. A lot of audiophiles actually are hard core music aficionados. Then again some listen to certain tracks of so-called audiophile music. It really doesn't matter either way. If you struggle to find music to listen to find a new hobby. This is your hobby, not ours.
