Audiophiles (and I am possibly one) usually do not get a basic truth, it's not about the equipment, it's about the music. I have a nice HiFi but I quite often play old mono records because I like the music on them, including ones that are badly scratched. I was once a semi-pro musician and I still know 30 or so of them. Not one has a decent HiFi. Do they buy speakers, decks and amps? no, they buy guitars and keyboards and solid music stands that cost more than the usual HiFi amp. Sorry to be so unimpressive, I have a Thorens TD135, Sansui tube amp into a pair of KLH5's. and now I spend money, quite a lot, on old vinyl.
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.

Can't hear music without equipment. If a basic truth is it's not about equipment, just music, might as well just listen to music on an old Sony transistor radio from the 1960's that teenagers would walk around holding up to their ears. That's how I heard most music back in those days. Still loved the songs! |
