Great Interview-

I agree with boomerbillone and bolong. As a musician, most bandmembers aren't interested in high end systems. They are usually busy and writing or learning songs, and rehearsing. They are content listening to songs on anything they have. the sound of the equipment doesn't matter. If you went to a class and the teacher was talking to you, would you feel disappointed they weren't speaking to you through a high end PA system?

I am an audiophile because my father was into high end audio and that started me.

Rick does great interviews...another good job,Rick.

If you have been watching Beato lately, he is on a rant about musicians not being paid enough because of streaming fiscal policies and the slow-mo death of the live performance. It would suit his and Bonamassa's angst to berate anything that wasn't "live" and that focused instead on appreciating music from the privacy of your own home.
