WRT to Grantges comment about musicians settling for cheaper systems and
"listening thru" the equipment "to" the music, I have two comments.

1.  One reason that musicians have cheaper systems is that they probably cant
    afford the more expensive ones - certainly not on the average musician's
    intake of funds.

2.  More importantly, I think that "listening" to canned music may be of
    less importance to a practicing musician.  At least in one case that 
    I know of, listening to music on records is of no consequence at all.
    The all-important thing is playing and interpreting the music live.
    Being a mere bystander is not even a close second to actually producing
    it yourself.

There are undoubtedly other reasons as well, but I suspect that many of
us closet musicians are merely sublimating our desire to actually play
music by buying lots of expensive gear and then enveloping ourselves in
sound to forget that we are not making it ourselves.

Listen well - Dewayne
