From what i read and know about myself, people do select both recorded music and equipment to play that music that emphasizes sonic characteristics they favor, to the semi- or complete exclusion of others.The interesting thing is that we base our selection of music and equipment on very little information in relationship to the populations of both recorded music and playback equipment.
This means that if we increase our sample sizes for both populations, or if we are hit by a random occurrence, we may open up ourselves to changing our preferences for both, a musical revolution!
I think we under-estimate the impact of this randomness in favor of thinking we are behaving in some kind of scientific way. However, acting on the basis of a random experience is just as scientific as acting on the basis of a methodical plan.
But sometimes we do fool ourselves...which is what makes this business really interesting and sometimes painful.
