So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician?

Home studio for (in order of interest) voice, guitar, bass, drums, keyboard. I've almost finished rewiring the whole studio with DH Labs BL-1 (the best I could afford given the amount of wire needed) and it made an incredible difference.

I also have a home studio for recording my own experiments. I use a lot of the tricks I've learned for playback in the studio and they make the same diffrences you hear on playback.

I own several two channal systems/ Percussionist extraordinarie,classic,set,Latin,African.

I started playing the cornet/trumpet at age 12.I am currently recording a CD accompanying my wife who sings and plays piano. It has been a lot of fun.I am more an audiophile,however, than a musician at this stage of my life.I just turned a very youthful 50.It's all downhill from here.

Yep. Electric bass guitar (and some acoustic upright). I've played since I was a teenager, and I'm 48 now. Playing and listening to music have always been a big part of my life. All the years of playing live have helped me recognize and appreciate the "true" sound in my system (in those fleeting moments when it occurs). I hope to continue playing and listening for the rest of my life. By the time I reach old age, Doc at Bottlehead will be making audiophile hearing aids with vacuum tubes, and we'll be discussing how to tweak them!! Any ideas?
