Organic, Texture, and Palpability - Please Define


I came across these words while perusing old threads and was wondering the meaning for describing sound.

I think they more aptly describe the person using the words.

Organic.

The user of this word could have various qualities. They may very well be vegetarian. Eco friendly. They probably recycle. They are more curious about the sound of those "Hemp" speakers than the average audiophile. They also prefer Birkenstocks to Tevas.

Texture.

This would come from a more artsy, boheme style of audiophile. He can be found perusing art galleries which is most likely where he picked up this word. Less of the "hippy" style organic audiophile and more of the "raver" style where tactile sensations are all the thing. They like corduroy.

Palpability

Now this guy likes to eat...he's as much about the sandwich that he's chomping down on as he is about the Wagner he is listening to at the time. This is more of a hands on kind of guy...the kind that makes you very uncomfortable in a "Bull in a china shop" sort of way. He's a nice enough guy...just keep your hands off his sandwich.
