Jazz Musicians as Audiophiles

Nice to see the Vandersteen 1,2,&3’s represented so well. And not always the newest ones either. Of course I’m a bit biased having both 1C’s and 2CE Sigs.

When I hooked-up my first Vandy 1C’s, I immediately felt ‘at home’ and thought they were incredibly ‘musical’, natural, and reproduced a wonderful stage, especially with acoustical music, which I listen to a lot.

I know several of these guys. Great players who know what music sounds like. I’ve always chuckled at the perception that we don’t care about hi end audio.

That is an interesting report on what many of us wonder about. Musicians I know/knew seem to care mainly about THEIR sound (instrument/setup) much more than their playback system. Funny that Ron Carter uses the same speakers that Herbie Hancock uses hence recommended. I always laughed at Herbie's Bose infomercial where he claim's to rely on the "superior" Wave for his own personal listening. 😄
