The artist you mention and others like them are at a career point were they can afford some of the trappings of success. One of those is often a home or near home recording studio which usually has some high quality recording gear and a modest method of playback, which is all thats usually needed during recording. The playback in a post production studio is actually very much like the live studio sound. The difference that seems to go unspoken here is that the quality of a raw sound track is far greater than what finally gets washed down after post production all the way to your system. It's horrible.
On the other hand there are many amateur and professional musicians alike that enjoy the historical aspect of recorded music and their systems often reflect that.
The Bridge School Benefit Concerts put on by Pattie and Neil Young has given many artist a chance to experience Neil Young's avid concern for fidelity and more importantly how the industry is choking fidelity with the economy that the early digital aspects have brought to the industry. While he has done a great deal for vinyl production I've been told he's fighting the degradation that occurs in manufacturing of the media as well as understanding the potential of high resolution formats that are being marketed poorly if at all such as Blueray audio and direct file sales.
As a Musician the notion that most Musicians don't care about quality playback should read -some- don't care. There are many musicians who are deeply involved in this industry. Unfortunately, the majority of them didn't rise to stardom for many individual reasons. Imagine if the audio press would simply ask the question to all the designers, manufactures, marketing, and the reviewers themselves, do you play an instrument?
