Great Interview-

I don’t know if they look down high-end audio as much as, just like with the majority of the general public, they just don’t give a damn about it and thus remain ignorant about it. I know and have played with many musicians, and only two had decent stereo systems and the rest were completely clueless about high-end audio. I’ve seen musicians I’ve played with listen to a good system, and while they appreciated it they just didn’t get it — you could see it just wasn’t getting through to them again I think because they just don’t inherently care. As hard as it may be for you and me to understand, being a musician seems to have very little correlation with someone being, or even wanting to be, an audiophile. I totally agree that It is kinda strange.

Highend audio is not for everyone. 

Many musicians listen first for the performance, to see how other people did it. Maybe so they can too, maybe to know what to avoid. Then too, they listen to live music all the time.

+1 @soix musicians are NOT AUTOMATICALLY = high-end audiophiles,

but their are some high-end manufacturers who are musicians

We are in the midst of live music most days of our lives, year after year. 

Nothing comes close to live (even though I have pretty decent audio gear and Do care about it.  But I can go weeks without turning on the stereo and not miss it.
