Absolutely! As an example, I once had a Phase Linear 2000 Preamp and thought that it was great. At the same time, I actually liked Cat Stevens.
Tastes fortunately mature.
Tastes change with age?
Felt old, today, when I was seemingly unreasonably annoyed when a kid drove by in a rattling junk car with a boomin' system. Pretty sure the kid thought it sounded good.
It's unreasonable, because I may or may not have once been a kid in a rattling junk car with a ridiculous set of subwoofers who may or may not have thought it sounded good at the time. I guess tastes change with age, wisdom, exposure, and experience. A "friend" might have once been able to stomach some Mad Dog 20/20 Orange Jubilee but now thinks he appreciates terroir.
Aside from perhaps having more "disposable" income as "audiophiles" age or moving with technology, might others prefer different types of music/gear than they once upon a time did?
