Bob Dylan's Hifi?

Striies me as a guy who doesnt really think about it much, he hears or experiences music on a different level not worried about expensive gear.

I agree with Chadnliz. When a musician listens to music they are more concerned with phrasing, time signature, texture, message, emotional rhythm and progression, feeling. Are they moved/inspired etc. I am sure we would be surprised with simplicity of their set-ups. I envision a vintage set-up ala Sansui, Pioneer and Advents or Cerwin Vega, connected with zip wire. Like many of us they listen to the music not their equipment.

I am equally sure their are some poseurs out their who have to put on a show for people who may stop by or do an interview. They are generally the artists who are driven by other things than being a "true musician".

I imagine some relatively new components possibly mismatched with older gear, (Infinity speakers and ARC amp)all items that someone gathered for him or recommended to him. Or an all in one system like Linn or something similar.

fwiw at one time someone on Agon was selling a HQD set up supposedly owned by Chick Corea. For whatever reason, I find it believable.
