I've had the same reaction to the techno stuff, with one exception.  I'm a major addict of tube-driven uber-high-end stereo.  While that has hampered my financial ability to prepare in other areas, when I sit down and listen to some majestic-sounding Bach, Beethoven or Taj Mahal it does much to soothe away the cares built up by reading this board :-)
"some majestic-sounding Bach, Beethoven or Taj Mahal"

Just a fantastic juxtaposition - I love it!
