is it about the equipment or the music?

I've posted thousands of times to rec.music.* and
alt.music.* newsgroups.

But that would hardly impart any authority to me re: *sound
recording and reproduction*.

Perhaps rec.music is just too general. Too much to wade through that
doesn't match up with the individual's interests? I don't know--I've never
been there. Does that mean that, even though I'm a working musician, I
somehow don't live up?

And while I agree with the inferred point that the equipment should be about
reproducing music, that doesn't mean that we can't appreciate equipment for
its own sake as well, does it? Some things are just designed and built
better than others. I think it's pretty cool when I see one of those
things--even better when I own one.
