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.

Put the coffee down....no, I don't care what you put into it to make mornings' more 'tolerable'....and, Yes, I've had my cardio meds...I'm not likely to 'expire', and allow for escape....;)

Re: Color

Have any of you been exposed to the Pantone Matching System?

It will make you beyond merely crazy.

Maybe someone can explain the jump from the information in the video to how high end audio came into existence for someone who is "non evolved" like me.
If you’re not evolved, does that make you a creationist? Or just not siding with Darwinian theory? (written tongue in cheek)

Well, actually there really has been an evolution, and it required the ability to recognise and as I mentioned earlier, practiced statistical analysis.
Even the ability to enunciate different sounds in languages around the world, is learned in our infancy, expressly using statistics. I know I’m entirely discussing psychology here, but it’s actually an evolution of technology based upon recognition that drives high end audio.

As a warm up
