More proof that music is not just an aural sensation.

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. 

@nonoise, I think frisson is a feeling you get from emotional excitement, a thrill. That excitement can certainly be from something you feel or hear.

@mijostyn, I used to think it was just an emotional response that some have but that finding had me thinking there's a physical reinforcement of sorts going on as well.

All the best,
Nonoise

The sophistication of electronic gear present in our own room is limited by available money...Yes....

Acoustic is at least HALF the part of any high end system...Do you know that? Surely...

When you ears touch the sound and look at it , changing an amplifier of 10,000 bucks for a 100,000 bucks one is for most people unwise and useless ... Why ? Because if rightfully embedded, any relatively very good system will do the job at a very high level...Save minute differences...

Then constantly saying that audiophiles dont know and cannot know because they cannot afford some gear is a snob gesture not science...

Use electrical and mechanical and acoustical control on a relatively good system and you will be relatively NEAR of MOST of the best system that exist, save the extra costlier one in an extra costlier acoustically controlled room...

This is fact....No boasting against people here...

Instead of boasting about some gear why not learning how to install ANY system?

 By installing here i dont speak ONLY about  "pairing " costly components but using mechanical, electrical and acoustical controls...

do you means that i dont hallucinate when i meditate on Bach geometry? or in the sexual impulse of some jazz?

This is why Mozart could help the digestive process better than Scriabin?
