Why audiophiles are different (explained with color)

@mahgister,

An audiophile is someone who can transform TOTALLY his room with 1/4 inches straw lenghth.... I guess i am one.... 😉
A consumer is someone who will spend many thousand of dollars to do the same thing.... 😎
Only superstitious conditioned mind or professional sellers think that audiophile experience is money invested directly related....I listen to a bad system whose value was 300,000 bucks....You know why? They lack a straw at the right spot....


This microdynamic expressing gesture of playing between 2 instruments locked one with the other by their "rythmical resonance" is after timbre experience the most important criteria about an audio system for me...
It is the only reason why i would upgrade, if i could afford it, my 500 bucks system to a 15,000 bucks one...( yes i calculate the price even if i could never afford it)

----------

This is THE major problem with this hobby.

Gaining that last bit of improvement (especially when it comes to timbral accuracy) might well mean you have to spend 30 times more!

I will never upgrade my 500 bucks system...

Everybody listening to it knowing my S.Q. /price ratio is flabbergasted...

If i upgrade to 15,000 bucks for an improvement , no one will be so impressed, they will say it is a good system... Now they cannot believe what i have for the price...

There is a ceiling in S.Q. quality, after it you improve but with an exponential increase in price...

Elementary mechanics of vibration control, electrical noise floor basic facts, acoustical treatment and controls MAY cost nothing at all...

Then.....

Even if i could have the money i will not upgrade because i am too proud of my actual peanuts cost system S.Q.




Thanks God i did not have the money 7 years back to buy plug and play and dreaming to upgrade the month after....

Be creative and forget money....

Embed everything rightfully instead of upgrading and before it....Perhaps you will no more need to upgrade after that...


This is my point....

If you are a visual artist of some kind, or if you’ve studied linguistics, or, especially if you have done both, nothing new here.

It’s (relatively) common knowledge that ‘eskimos’ allegedly have as many as 300 words for snow. Studies show, however, that Eskimo-Aleut have the same number of root words for snow as English speaking peoples do, the difference being that the structure of the Eskimo-Aleut language allow for far more variability in this area.

Our world shapes perception. Perception shapes our world. The Incas claimed that our belly buttons are the center of the universe. Context is everything.

It’s annoying how this kid presents this like he’s just discovered the holy grail. I want to strangle him.

LOL, and the title is misleading. They saw blue as evidenced by art they just never used a single word to describe the color. 

In the context of one developing a palette for wine or bourbon, is audiophilism largely about the development of a distortion palette relative to the actual arrangement and tonal quality of the instrumental and vocal sounds?

Close but re arrange the whole thing.

That the individual ear distorts... and we learn how to hear though our own individual distortion pattern. Our individual pattern and signal recognition and recording sytem. So to speak.

Where measurements are simply an agreed upon standard that we can hopefully use to have a functional baseline in comparisons. where enough of the parameters in measurement can erupt into a useful, transferable, repeatable testing system.

We can’t quite call it distortions as we don’t (generally, in the public or even the pro/science level) know the true relation of the hearing system -- to the so called measured numbers.

Some might be closer to that equation being solved than others... but until then, it will remain as a situation where the ’relative truth’ will stand in similar value to all the wrong directions or incorrect ones.

Thus all the colors of the audio language have evolved in a real and normal manner as to tasting or color definition in it’’s most minute detectibility, - Which is the limits of capacity for recognition and expression of nuance. Where everyone is different in that given skill set.

And that detectibility and/or language, in the general, continues to grow and evolve... and as that happens, as a system in flow or change.. we can begin to narrow in on a more agreed upon common path.
