What Color is your system


By virtue of the laws of physic no sound can be percieved as unaltered from its way from the vocalist musician or other sound to mastering enginneering circuit and voicing manipulation. to the duplcation process electronic and physical variation to you feeding it through an assembly of electronics presumably chosen to suit your favorite voicing .
Thus no earthbound system no matter how much one wants to believe is absolutely pure nor purely perfect am immaculate not touched.
Thee artfacts of reproduced music I call color.
Please no my system is silver colored etc sophomoric jokes.
I like my sound rich and full but not rolled off the opposte is my preference . Mine is the proverbial Big Tone preference. I like it a little bumped up in mids and upper bass but be very well defined at the any point. I admit like it rich and warm but never blurry fuzzy or unclear I simpoly the very British recessed politeness unbearable with regard to bass. My treble is very airy and transparent very dimensional great imagery.
As a color I would say medium warm but clean.
Whats do you think your system and preferences are for variation from the truly impossible perfect total neutral many seem to think is the "right answer" no matter how difficult it is to listen to orclaim aspire to .
Euphonic is a fine thing and by no means a vulgar curse.
So How about you?. What do you like.
An actual color designation BTW might be a yellow orange in my imagination of the spectrum with red representing warmth in the extreme. Artic ocean blue for cool coloration in that extreme starkness speed no real timbral decay not rich toned a pure precise simple note with no added fat .

What frequency is the paint on your walls? The only way this discussion would have any logical merit is if the color's wavelength was associated with a frequency. Apart from that this is only nice emotional discussion. Nothing wrong with it, but of limited value for system-building. ;)
My system is the color that would blow your head clean off.

(With apologies to Clint Eastwood.)
Douglas - Every wavelength is associated with one and only one frequency; that frequency is determined by dividing the speed of light by the wavelength - 8th grade physics. I still don't see how this adds any logical merit to the discussion. It is an emotional discussion, and could be useful because listening to music is an emotional experience (when done properly).
Some people experinece something called synesthesia (sp?) in which senses do cross; for them, sounds and words can have very distinct colors. I don't know if all people with this phenomena assign the same color to the same sounds as everyone else. Maybe this is what Douglas was trying to say. But people do seem to assign moods to colors; red is full of turmoil, deep blue is exciting but restrained; many people will describe whitish or glassy colorations to their system. This thread may show that no one percieves the same color the same way, or maybe there will be somke utility to assigning colors to sounds. Either way it will be interesting if people ltake it seriously.
