Has audiophilia changed your music taste?

Before I got into this hobby, I was big into heavy metal. I am very much into progressive bands like Dream Theater and Queensryche. My collection consisted of rock 90% and classical/jazz/other at 10%. Ever since I started getting into audio, my listening has changed and so has my music collection. What used to be 90/10, lean to rock, has changed to about 70/30 and changing weekly. Lately, I can't keep Patricia Barber off my system. I absolutely love her. The thing is, the other day I put on some Pat Travers and the listening only lasted about 30 minutes before it was back to Patricia Barber. For some reason, rock doesn't sound as good as it did before. Maybe it is my system or maybe it is me.

Anyone else like me?

Well Not changed but definitely Widened...I still get raised eyebrows when I play Eagles, Clapton, Chris Rea or Sade at Audiophile "meetings". Butmust say have discovered Vocals & classical due to it...

Love to listen to Patricia, Rebecca Pidgeon, Natalie Cole,Norah jones etc as well these days :)

But would still go to raptures when listening to Floyd. or Deep purple..they are too finely ingrained in the soul to really go away !
