@syntax , get off the 'puter and head to your listening rooms, you'll shake it real fast I bet. I spent 30 minutes in there (system page) and even I feel better now.
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.

'Why the ancient greeks could not see blue' is very bold and very likely false statement. https://www.greecetravel.com/archaeology/mitsopoulou/blue.html https://palombacoralli.it/en/turquoise-the-stone-of-a-thousand-myths/ |
The greek could see "blue" but associated it with other external and internal phenomena.... And seing a color is not only seeing something external but translating it physiologically and interpretating it..... Then our "blue" is not their "blue".....The lack of the word"blue" is a sign they associate this color with other impactful phenomena then they did mever feel the need to detach it from these phenomena and name the "blue" abstractly with a specific word refering only to colors like they did for others colors... Probably the physical color blue impact then very much , so much, that it was not only a "color" but a more powerful phenomenon .... By the way you can interpret turquoise like a green shade not a blue shade.... This is my explanation... But i am not a specialist for sure.... |

Do not want to spoil the party, but based on my experience with 'audiophiles' (that I know or have met) I would not suggest that they appreciate music more than others. Than again, I would not say that dissecting the reproduced sounds of hi fi systems ad nauseum have necessarily any conection with love for music at all or that hi fi has any meaning if majority of your music collection is not unamlified music... |
