That was kind of my take on it too, Onhwy61 - some combination of having a nice system, enough money to purchase a fair amount of music, and getting older and broadening my horizons a bit has led me to explore and appreciate a much wider variety of music. To the extent that a nice system makes music listening more enjoyable, I guess it has contributed to changing the music I listen to, but not in the spirit of the original question. -Kirk
Has your system changed the music you listen to?
I recently went through a "sell it all and start over" phase with my system. I now own an all McIntosh system driving Thiel CS 2.3 speakers. All of a sudden, I cannot listen to enough jazz. I have never been much of a jazz listener but now i am buying books on jazz music and compiling a sizeable jazz collection. (BTW: I don't consider this a problem in any way, just an interesting phenomena!) Previous system changes have not produced such changes for me.
Life circumstances have certainly been part of this but I cannot help but think that my system change has contributed to this revolution in my music listening habits. Has anyone else experienced anything like this.
