Why audiophiles are different (explained with color)

A very interesting video on color and color perception. How it comes into being.

In the act of doing so, it illustrates how the complexity of the high end audio world comes into existence.. 

at the same time it explains how we end up with almost what you would call 'violent detractors'. Negative detractors.

People unable to discern nuance. Audio haters. As in .....non evolved people, regarding audio.

This is not a put down, it merely uses the words to describe the position in life they are in at the time. They may evolve more into the given audio directions, or they may not. It is a matter of will, choice, time, and innate capacity to do so.

Talking Schiff?  You were doing so well until that. How much right wing cool-aid do you consume on a daily basis? It's bad enough that snratio is a recidivist troll who proves our point but do you just have to spew such silly nonsense?

All the best,

Some scholars of the 18th and 19th centuries claimed that the Greeks did not see colours. They saw them, and well, but they only described them in a different way, surely people's eyes are always the same and will remain the same. Case is that ears are functioning the same way. The colours were, for the Greeks, primarily life and light: an experience completely human and not natural, visual, which has nothing to do with the colour spectrum of the prism, as defined by Isaac Newton. 
Very interesting thread @teo_audio, food for  thought for some.
