It is ironic that outside of some organists, musicians never actually
get to hear themselves live as do the audience. However there is far
more to the picture. Musicians are far more exposed to live music
played by other musicians than just about any other people on earth.
So they are, generally speaking, very familiar with the sound of live
instruments if not the sound of themselves playing their instrument
live. They do however listen to themselves played back quite a bit and
that is something they can compare to other musicians played back. All
in all there is a vast sphere of experience of listening that makes
the assertion that musicians are the best judge of the sound of
musical instruments very reasonable on it's face.

While this is true, it has been my experience that most musicians don't
really care about sound quality, per se. Few actually have the kind of st=

systems that laymen and audiophiles think that they would have.


Yeah but this isn't about the sound quality of their stereo systems.
This is about the sound of musical instruments. I think musicians do
care about that. Actually I know a few myself that care quite a bit
about that.
