RE: Perhaps you're not aware about a little known industry secret about musicians....

Great post!

I have finally figured out why it is that musicians are well known for having horrible music systems. It's because we all have a memory of the music in our heads already. Musically talented people have a much stronger one.

The best musicians don't even need a stereo or other playback device. They can just look at a piece of sheet music and hear the music in their head as if they were in front of a live orchestra (which they have been many, many times).

If a piece of paper can do that, just think what a transistor radio can do... Both of my sons are incredible musicians. One is just like the stereotypical one and literally cannot tell the difference between crap sound and killer sound. The other one is more unusual as he can easily tell the difference, but it's usually not worth the trouble to get his Pono Player and Cardas IEMs to hear great sound quality when he can just play an MP3 on his Chinese smart phone and enjoy it almost as much.
