I accept the mantra that the simplest answer tends to be the best one.
Anyone who makes a living playing and listening to live music will always have a
much lesser experience when listening to any recorded sound.
Secondly, musicians will always put money into their instruments
before anything else. Rightfully so.
Now that said the best sounding home system I ever heard was in a
retired musician's home. And when he plays his grand piano
his hifi system becomes a distant memory.
