Frogman is correct about my intended meaning - when I said musicians, I meant all types of musicians, not just classical. Of course, O-10, there are exceptions to every rule. There are many classical musicians who aren't into great reproduction, too, even though they can hear the difference. As Rok said, we hear what we NEED to hear on a boom box if we have to. But as a percentage, yes, there are many more musicians with better quality playback systems than the averages in other professions. They certainly don't all have five figure systems, it might be good mid-fi stuff, like what I started with after college - a Technics turntable, Harmon Kardon receiver, and Cerwin Vega speakers (and there are a great many audiophiles who would argue that the Technics was not a mid-fi piece, but that's another argument). Back in the day, that system cost me three figures. The average musician is more likely to own such equipment than the average non-musician.
Rok, I can see how my comment you quoted could easily be misinterpreted to be condescending, but I think you know it was not intended that way. I will certainly admit that there is a reason I am a musician and not a writer....not the best choice of words. Frogman is much better at writing clearly than I, that's for sure.
