hii have been an opera singer , but actually that does not count as an instrument as we were told at the university when the music history professor greeted us with:welcome musicians and singers .oh well and btw i consider my stereo as high end but thats perhaps because i am not active as a singer anymore ?
On the other hand, pros must listen to music/live music as a listener, not just as a player, just as much as us, if not more (for the most part.) Why don't they want to make it as much like the real thing as they can?IMO, a good, perhaps Masters level, music theory class will really get your head and ears going about how music is constructed and how the western human hear works.
...Having a high end system is a lifestyle decision whether you are a musician or not - I always think of how fortunate we are to be "rich enough", like a king in the olden days who has musical performances at the snap of a finger Although having a good ear certainly helps with audio decisions and appreciation.
...I know a number of professional musicians, and the funny thing is none of them have anything resembling high end audio systems. Maybe because they're local musicians, and they're all poor!Actually, one guy I know, who is an amazing guitar player, isn't poor, but he still has just mainstream, mid fi audio gear. I've been wanting to get him over here to hear my rig, but neither of us have much free time these days.
