What Mulveling said 1000%. I have quite a few audiophile friends and recently made the rounds listening to their systems using a variety of recordings and came to the conclusion that they had built their system to only sound good with audiophile stuff so that's all they could listen to on a regular basis. OTOH, My aim is to have a system that sound good playing both the poorly recorded and the audiophile stuff.
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.
