Has your HiFi changed your musical tastes

Like several of you, having a revealing system hasn't expanded my taste into new genres as much as it has expanded the number of performers I listen to and appreciate.

What I've noticed is that I can now hear much more clearly what the musician intended, especially when there is substantial subtlety and innovation going on. That broadens the genre, highlighting the best in it.

That has made me learn to love a lot of performers I didn't 'get' before I could really hear what they were up to and distinguish them from less interesting performers in the same genre.

Yes ,I really enjoy classical now

No. For me I think it's more a matter of aging than my system. My taste has expanded over the years. But just the other night I popped in Jethro Tull's Aqualung, turned it up, and enjoyed the hell out of it.

Timrhu... I was hoping the age thing would be overlooked . Just as I have mellowed so has the music . But it's become more important and reveals more than just notes and cords . Are old favorites still sound great , Just as you still enjoy Jethro Tull , I have rediscovered Dire Strait's , particularly On Every Street and Brothers In Arms . What can we expect next ?

I have a few audiofool buddies and we frequent each others' homes (IE stereos!) and in doing so I have listened to a lot of music new to me, as well as styles I had not really payed much attention to before. So my palette has grown as a result of the hobby, but not necessarily because of the quality of my rig.
