Yes, 30 years of guitar. My experiences with music is what drives my frame of reference for play back. A better question is not, "why aren't more musician audiophiles", but rather, "why aren't more audiophiles musicians?" When this last question is resloved, then the first question will be resolved
Do you play?
I listened to a great recording tonight(miles davis live around the world) and it brought me back to when I played in a band. Yes in my youth that was the thing to do. I grew up in NYC and everybody I knew either sang or played something. This I believe lead me to obtain the best possible gear I could afford to recreate the music I once played. Mind you I'm no Miles Davis-not close- but one can rememeber and wonder. How about you-did you play and if so how has it effected your recreation of music in your home?
