What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?

Musicians in the classical field definitely care about their audio equipment and find a way to own decent to exceptional stereos. We listen for research as much or more than for just listening. As far as I'm concerned, anyone in this business who listens through lame equipment doesn't really care about what they do.

One of my friends who played as a professional in the orchestra for years listens on Philharmonic 3 speakers with AVA amp and pre.

He is also loves Maggie's for be their vocal be purify.

A few thoughts... I've been a lifelong pro musician (50 years) and, yes, musicians tend to listen to the music itself, with the quality of reproduction not the foremost concern. Of course great sound is nice but not necessarily an essential element of the experience.

I've never heard musicians discussing their audio equipment with each other unless it's a query into where to get it repaired.

Highly paid artists may be able to afford high end audio, but the majority of mid level and lower can't. My solution was always to buy used from good audio shops which got me my Bryston 3B (40 years and going strong), AR and ERA turntables, NAD 3020 and 1300 Pre and JPW and Wharfedale EVO 4.2 speakers, which I just purchased as "chip and dent" for an unbelievable price. Most wouldn't consider this audiophile I'm sure but it sounds good enough to me to enjoy the music!

vitussl101 Charlie Haden was good friends with Ken Christiansen of Pro Musica, Chicago Naim dealer and Producer of many Naim albums.

As I said in my last post, Ron Carter is a loyal and dedicated Tetra speaker man.

He and many other legends of Jazz. Herbie, Dave Holland, Winton, etc.
