Speakers/Amp change your choice of music

Hi,

You are right, the equipment do influence your choice of music. One will ulitmately return to your true love after the honey moon in over

I feel that the type of colouration of the equipment is what makes one to lean towards a particular type of music. If your system is towards neutral side one may enjoy various genere of music through it.

Hi, I came across this thread over a AK. http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=232446 I for one have always been partial to Bluegrass/Country &Western/Folk and American Roots music.However since I got the SET amp I find myself listening to and buying more Jazz albums. Was wondering if anyone on this forum has similar experiences. Regards Rajiv

It's been the other way around with me

Over the years I find my self listening to a wide variety of music, across genres.

IMHO a decent HiFi system allows me to 'get into' the music so much better.

well i would say you begin to appreciate more of music with good systems. at least with me.

I have deveoped a love for hindustani (unbearable in bad systems..unlike carnatic), western classical (dynamic range unmatched..but only in good systems), female vocals, jazz and esoteric world music purely because of a good hifi. so it has influenced it all. i can even listen to Kodo drummers which is unlistenable in a Non Hifi system.

although Rock still remains primary interest

My primary listening used to be rock. I still listen to rock a lot(Almost 30 percent)
But as the system evolved I started to get a kick out of “unamplified natural sound” as opposed to “electronic sound”.
I still like the creativity in rock although most recordings and quite bad and they are quite bad to evaluate a system.
Jazz, western and Hindustani classical music forms most of my collection in “unamplified natural sound” category and they sound divine in a resolving hifi system.
Rock is still listenable in a much less resolving system.

I agree that a good hifi can broaden your musical horizons. I am not sure if it will change your taste in music. You may start to avoid non-creative music as your musical senses evolve. Examples of such music there in almost all genres.
