Why audiophiles are different (explained with color)


A very interesting video on color and color perception. How it comes into being.

In the act of doing so, it illustrates how the complexity of the high end audio world comes into existence.. 

at the same time it explains how we end up with almost what you would call 'violent detractors'. Negative detractors.

People unable to discern nuance. Audio haters. As in .....non evolved people, regarding audio.

This is not a put down, it merely uses the words to describe the position in life they are in at the time. They may evolve more into the given audio directions, or they may not. It is a matter of will, choice, time, and innate capacity to do so.

I only found this topic when I followed one of the posters who made the only intelligent post in another thread. I see he, or she, did the same in this topic.
Y'all let me know when you run a 90 minute marathon, or an 8 second 100 meter, or for most of ya, hear 20KHz again. There is some large differences in intelligence, this topic makes that a bit obvious, but our physical abilities are all real close. Ya know the word for pink and it helps you pick out pink since you spent a lifetime classifying pink. Does not mean you can see better in the dark or see ultraviolet light. Heck a lifetime of listening to music hasn't helped one of ya to know that grain can be noise, or harmonic distortion or any number of other types of distortion, but ya lump it all together cause ya don't know the difference.
When ya can't even get the basics right, ya probably should be a little more humble and think twice, three times for some of ya, before posting this elitist drivel.
Elite drivel was too kind but I am a nice guy. Look at y'all patting yourselves on the back meanwhile everything you know about audio would fit into a thimble. Simple concept is too much for you. You can learn listening skills but that grain comment tells me you have never worked hard enough to know what to listen for. Too busy acting superior to spend the time learning and too busy acting superior to realize what ya don't know. Ya make fun of others but ya done nothing to better yourself. Give me a kid off the street and 1/2 a day and he could tell me more about what is wrong with a system than any of you.
Ya see what I mean. Not just elite drivel but bullies that show their stripes when someone stands up to them. Can't talk about audio so they gotta be bullies.
Do we just make up our own meaning for words here? Is that how it works for y’all. That is not what induced synaesthesia is and synaesthesia has nothing to do with the Greeks and the color blue. If we are just gonna make things up why have a forum? Calling a sound warm does not mean ya feel physically warm no matter how many times ya repeat it. Maybe if I put ya under a heat lamp when I turned up the bass then ya would have an argument. Ya gone and taken a simple act of learned classification, like blue or pink with what that color represents and gone ran off the end of the world with it.
Y'all started this topic just to insult a group of people, and y'all jumped right onto that. Now you want to put your fingers in your ears and ignore the person standing up to the bullies. This ain't high school. It just feels like it.  Hate to break it to ya, but those people you insult are every bit as much audiophiles as you, probably more so.
