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.
some good points re. poorly recorded music sounds better on lesser gear as it is less revealing. it is a bit sad to admit but my systewm which i love, of course, does not sound that great with bad source. mid fi jbl's or polks would be better. we all have to deal with the fact that most recordings are not audiophile grade.
I realized that all of the reviews, discussions are about one or few outstanding recordings listened in tons of different systems... It's all about how one or few things sound in tons of different systems. When you upgrade, you have to listen that particular track again when there's so much and much more to listen to... Is it the main idea of being an audiophile?
I'm meloman and would definitely refuse listening to the same thing for a long time need different sound need more music regardless of recording quality.
My system plays EVERYTHING great poor and nice recordings so all I have to think is about NEW music and no new equipment.
Ryan at Vapor had me over to listen to a few pairs of his speakers. If your speakers can handle Infected Mushroom, they can keep up with anything.

The Vapors handled IF with ease. I recommend giving it a shot.
