If you look at high-end audio as a "platform", it certainly seems there's alot of audiophile-grade recordings of jazz and so on as proper "software" for it. Catalogs like Mapleshade etc. certainly favor jazz, blues, classical etc. - the availability of a broad range of audiophile recordings seems more favorable to these genres. To listen to what sounds good is natural - as long as you like it, and the continued availability of good "software" in these genres may contribute toward your wandering in that direction.
I have the misfortune of being a huge heavy metal fan. Not very common to find good production in that genre, but some of the music is just priceless. Here's hoping for 180gm Acoustic Sounds reissues of all the early Piledriver LPs! That would be the day.
I do the best with the "software" I like to play, and tailor my system toward that goal, rather than the highest level of sound reproduction available to me.
What I can say is the availability of cheap "book-sale" vinyl has caused some wierd listening behavior in my household! You've never seen so much ELO and Rick Wakeman in one place (except maybe YOUR living room in the 70's - busted!)
