Listening to music I don’t particularly like


Do you find yourself listing to music you don't particularly like because it sounds so good on your system? If I'm honest with myself I am an old dude who grew up with classic rock and really enjoy it but a lot of it was not well recorded. So I find myself listening more and more to other genres of music that I normally wouldn't  just because they sound so good on my system. I don't know what this says about me, maybe I am more of an "equipmentphile" than a music lover? I keep listening to music ranging from classical to vocal jazz to country and I love the sound of it  but it doesn't get my toes tapping like a good old rock song from my youth. I was even listening to Chinese drums today. Is there hope for me? Will I ever ever enjoy this music as much as I enjoy the "sound"?

I don’t think that anyone here doesn’t take into account the sound of his system when making a selection of what to play. And no matter what the musical content, the sound is important. Having said that, if you make that selection solely on the basis of SQ, it’s certainly not going to be as fulfilling as with music you like.

Alot goes into putting together a hifi system that pleases the owner. One element is being honest about what sorts of music, from what sources, and then making the sure the system plays that in a really pleasing way consistently.

Just listening to Mickey Hart Dafos. Yes, MC… interesting collection of sounds. Well recorded… about once every ten years or so sounds about right.

Lately, I don’t dry music at all, I want
I really like listening to podcasts, they inspire me to new actions, since podcasting has become very important now, I began to design a series of my podcasts made using podcast cover art maker.
Definitely, I will not make podcasts myself, but my friends will help with this.
What will happen from a series about the life of great artists of all our time, I am sure that it will be very interesting, as well as informative.

I used to, sort of.

A few decades back I used to try and get the recordings the reviewers used and raved about in doing the reviews of equipment.  I then realized their musical tastes and mine were on different planets.

I only listen to music I like.  Luckily, the genre I prefer (Jazz - mostly modern co temporary) is pretty well recorded.
