More proof that music is not just an aural sensation.

Well, the neighbors high school daughter called Monday night to ask if I would please turn the music down when I was testing my system out to get the over-under on db levels. Dead quite, with the AC off, 42.1 db. And then the loudest my system will play with precision, Lee Michaels, the Lee Michaels album, the loudest sustained of all my music, 120.2 db.

The idea that a teenager would call me to turn it down was amusing. It was pure concussive ecstasy.  😉

Every time after warm up, when I sit down, I get the head/hair tingly thing, along with the arms/legs goosebumps. 
 I love it, never had this with any of my older stereos!

Hate to break it to you but that is not exactly the sort of ecstasy stories that start out that way are supposed to end with.

You’re not breakin' it to me, I was just ribbin' you. 😉

It is that something extra that the music conveys to people that learn how to listen, at reasonable volumes, that makes the expense worthwhile; don't you think?

In future years our current understanding of the sensory systems in the body - in all living creatures - will seem simplistic, and will further bury by sheer force of accumulating lab data the ridiculous notion of spontaneous generation and accidental advancement of life. The rude treatment of hearing versus seeing that is espoused by audiophile skeptics is caused by another sensory system, the Posterior Numismatic System, which sends impulses indicating the thickness of the wallet one sits upon, influencing the perception of the sound of the system. 

I'm only half joking. All audiophiles have deep biases when it comes to spending money, and they are kidding themselves if they don't think it influences what they think they hear, or don't hear.
