Hi guys - I am still lurking here, and feel compelled to agree 100% with Rok's last post. This is a major reason why so many professional musicians do not have much respect for audiophiles - most of them, in my experience, don't actually care about the music at all, they just think they do because they have purchased expensive gear. They really care about what they think is accurate sound reproduction. The irony here for me and many other musicians is that many of their expensive systems don't actually sound anything like live, acoustically produced music in a good space, which is supposedly (and should be!) the standard. I am glad that there are some on this forum who do care about music - this thread is definitely the best one on this board, despite some major disagreements that have happened.
There are many more discussions about music on the vinyl asylum, though most of it is about classical rather than jazz. There is a forum on there specifically for music, which is very active, and does discuss jazz quite a bit. I would suggest that those of you follow this thread and who care about music sign up over there as well. I think you will enjoy the discussions over there, especially if you love classical, too.
