Has your HiFi changed your musical tastes


When I had lesser systems we listened to a lot of rock , but now Jazz is number one . Did the quality of your HiFi start you on a trend of music that highlights the systems qualities ?

In general no. But, I do listen to something different once in a while that they did a great job recording it, capturing it the way I'd like to see my preferred music recorded. Some jazz will sound good on a mid-fi system because of the way they captured it. I'm guessing less mikes and gear needed/used in comparison to classical is part of the reason. Some of the older rock music sounds like they had the mikes mounted right up against the instruments, with the VU meters banging at the top of the red scale.
