What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?

With all the debate on this piece of equipment is better than that, it got me to thinking… What setup do well respected musicians have, e.g. amps, speakers, etc. What does Wynton Marsalis listen to, for example? Just curious and thought it might be a fun topic.

They get a big kick out of the so called "audiophile" stuff I show them and explain what it supposed to do. I get rhythm pointers from the drummer and bassist. I'm a lifelong guitar wanker. Can't hold a groove to save my life! They appreciate our weird endeavor, but probably think it's ridiculous.

I'd also assume with so much time spent creating and performing, spare time is used for other activities.

Now IF you are talking of 'well known' musicians, many of whom are not as well 'respected' as a lot of these not so well known folk, then that is a different question. Seems like this group is all over the board...many have simple off-the-shelf big box store systems picked out for them by their rep.
