audiophile rockers


I was listening to Steely Dan's Katy Lied CD ( played the LP endlessly in the seventies) and was reading the updated liner notes by Becker and Fagen...they were mastering the sound with double Maggies and an Audio Reseach D-76 amp back in 1974. Are there an other audiophile rockers like those two?

I was at a festival in a big ampitheatre years ago and the sound was just crap all day so muddy in the bass and shrill in the highs you couldn't understand the lyrics. Tom petty and Neil young were the last to play. Somehow magically the whole PA system was fixed for both of their sets. They sounded great and the Neil young show in particular stands out as one of my favorite live shows I've seen.

I did a bit of recording in my time and I came to the realization that I would rather have a great monitoring system than front end gear. If you can't really make sense of what you are hearing how can you make the right choice on what to do with a mix?
