Great gear won't fix crappy music, but you can listen to great music on crappy gear and it's still great music. If one thinks the gear has any importance other than relaying the music to your earballs, I can only assume you can sit and fondle your fuses and lovingly gaze at a dead sound system which without music is a pile of paperweights. Music is what matters, period.
So where do you fall in the spectrum.? Gear or Music?
Form me it is about the music but I like having nice gear to hear it with.
