What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?

In 1993 while on a company trip we ventured off one day on an exursion in Ocho Rios to Fern Gully area based on the show.

The tour bus stopped on the road there and we were allowed a few minutes to walk around. I ventured with a few colleagues on the road and came upon a driveway with gates what looked to be a gatekeeper kept yelling and waiving at me to ccme up so I did.  When right at the house on top of the bay that it backed onto which i cidentally was where our hotel was situated was the hill that beared the houses of Johnny Cash Linda Ronstadt as well as Keith Richards and other notables. 

The gatekeeper says...."Hey Mon you want a tour of Keith Richards house?....5 bucks Jamaican each..(there was 5  of us) we were shocked kind of but not in disbelief as we were explained back at the hotel where all the houses were in view from the beach the story of their occupants.  Now this is "93 and the gatekeeper says no worries mon Keith is on tour...and he was I know with the 'Winos peddaling his Main Offender album. Well off we went inside...

Into the main Living Room was a large sectional couch we all sat on in disbelief as well I was staring at a skullhead on the end table...lol knowing full well Keith would have shot us all including his gatekeeper for being in there.

There were a few books on blues music and gold anniversary Monopoly game as well on the coffee table. 

So his entertainment system?

On the wall were numerous Polaroid pics taped to the wall of various shots with Keith and local Rastas and shots of Mick and others to include Aretha Franklyn.

There was a 20" Sony Color TV with Rabbit ears and a "All in one" Sony Mini System for Keith to listen to.

As a musician myself I get it.

The studio is one thing home is another.

I believe musicians dont dwell on detail outside of the studio like some audiophiles do.  That said I just installed a set of Bose 301's yesterday and absolutely love them. Play anything and get the message across thats what they do.  Any musicuan listening back on them say if you played one of their tunes would never feel the listener is "missing out" on what the band was trying to achieve.

Thats all for another thread.

   My brother, before he went off to study the Viola at Indiana State University studied with Milton Preves, a violist who was the first chair in the CSO (Chicago Symphony) Orchestra).  He taught students at his home here on the Northshore.  I was there a few times and actually heard his setup; Klipschorns and McIntosh amplifiers.  Never heard them before.  As a thirteen, fourteen-year-old, I was blown away and I think it had a center channel but that was a long time ago.  It was a large room.

  Charlie Haden owned Naim Audio gear.

I don’t think it’s been mentioned here yet but I remember, and enjoyed, Stereophile’s Musicians As Audiophiles series. A big one was Ron Carter. Also included a lot of NYC area jazz musicians.

... and I always think of Henry Rollins' stereo too and see someone has already posted his system. 

Take a clue from the 60s...."If it feels good, do it."

Footnote:  Pete Townshend.....partial deafness and tinnitus.  FYI: currently touring with Roger....

Just too much hyping/bsing and baiting in the audiophile galaxy.   

Advertising signs that con you
Into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you
