Re: John Curl doesn't "need" to do anything....

If you are a musician, it tells us plenty. I have found that most musicians are not interested as much in hi fi, and I don't blame them. They can get what they want, in general, from a clock radio. There is nothing wrong with this, but we want other aspects of accurate musical reproduction. You confuse the music with the 'sound of music'. When I was a faculty member at the Institute for Advanced Musicial Studies, almost 30 years ago, I was in over my head in a classical music environment. Hell, this was grad school, not music appreciation, so I mostly listened to the sound of the music and the instruments, rather than to the content. If you are also heavily grounded in classical music, like my wife and friends were at the time, you would concentrate on the musician's performance or the music. I saw this difference clearly while at the institute. The only thing that surprised me is the investment that musicians will make in their instruments, while the reproduction of the whole program doesn't seem to be as important, as it is to me.
