I go for musicality EVERY time, which is why I guess my other 'musician' friend can get along with me. I learned long ago never to get into the 'audiophile' discussions about gear when listening to music with anyone other than other audiophiles.I can hold my own with 'gear pigs', the tech talk, the new gear on the block specs, the next 'new thing' tweak. But it doesn't mean a thing to someone who doesn't have (or care!) about the vocabulary, just the tunes!
Getting back to the subject- musicality OR audio truth- I found that the less I discussed 'flavour of the month' issues, I got more into the music- really IGNORED the gear and became indeed a case of 'sit down, shut up and just listen', as my good friend says.
At the risk of sounding mean, I don't give a crap about quality sometimes! If the tunes move me, reagardless of the specs, I'll take the tunes, be it on a Waveradio, or a full blown Krell system!
Remember, don't shoot the messenger!
