Thank you Ramond for your support.

I mainly listen to Progressive rock , hard rock , folk rock, classic rock, early 70's metal, Psych, Blues like SRV and Hendrix, etc., etc.. To me this all fits into the ROCK category, just like there are various forms of Jazz and classical music as well.

I thought people could generalize and pigeon hole their music into one of these main categories.

If your main interest was blues I thought you would tell us. I did not include RAP and I think you know why.

Reading some of the music threads, I saw many audiophiles’s listing their favorite music. Rock Artists that I like, popped up alot. I was trying to find out if we Audio nuts here at audiogon were all classical music lovers, just like most of the record companies think.

Of my 1500 LP's
80% ROCK, 20% Jazz, NO classical, I listen to symphonic rock instead.

I like Classical and have been to the Opera and Symphony many times, but I don't have any in my record collection.
I also have those Andreas Vollenweider LP's. I love them and I listen to them quite a bit lately.

Got-cha Rockin',

You wanted to say that you mostly have a "non-audiophile-grade" kinda music!

I love classical(mostly large orchestral) not less than I love rock but wouldn't waste my time to bring it right from the speakers and electronics. Neither vinyl or CD can properly "contain" a close to reality "information" of recorded large string and brass orchestra. CD mostly suffers from lack of clarity and vinyl from lack of dynamics not even speaking of electronics and speakers capabilities... Even on so called "audiophile recordings" musicians must "behave" next to the microphone which drastically decreases let's say "spiritual factor" making Allegro sound as Lulliby or vice versa if measure to the extreams.

I get bored by most of traditional jazz bands (with exception to Dave Brubeck) but due to their outstanding recording qualities I have Mono original vinyls of some famous traditional jazz musicians.

SACD is audiophile-oriented format that firstly will spread on most-of audiophile listened music but later-on might eventually go for selected rock bands that are so-called folk singers: Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Yes, Deep Purple etc... but will never I think go beyond King Crimson and more serious level than King Crimson.
