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.

Why The Ancient Greeks Couldn't See Blue

It makes me think of the "Pink room", they use to use to calm people down. BUT if they stay in the room over the 15 minutes, they become agitated again, even more so..

We are what we see? I don’t know about that, but beautiful things sure make the music sound better..

Joe Cockers "Leave your hat on" comes to mind.. Not the best lookin’ fellow, BUT that song and "The girl" that use to dance to it for me (Buffy the belly dancer) were pure RED, like smokin’ RED, fire engine red... So I guess the "First color" works very well, primal in origin.

Then BLUE is last, what happen to the friggin rainbow? The colors in that.. Left out violet all together, that is why the old guys and girls didn’t mention it, They couldn’t make it, why on earth name it..

VIOLET though, and the description of "Scarlet" is throughout history...From enlightenment and self-awareness, if only in a positive (violet) or negative (Scarlet) way.  LOL though dismissed behind closed doors.. Surely the latter "Scarlet" is an action not a color..:-)

Colors count, darken the room, and listen, to "Dark side of the moon" bright lights and that kind of music just won’t go together..

Vice Versa too. I hear Yoko Ono, I think of anything BUT color, pastels least of all.. More like pine pitch, something irritating. BUT pine pitch has a purpose.. :-) I can honestly say her voice can cause people to react, like bigger Shi#heads, than they already were.. YUP..

For those who would like to read about things such as "burn in" and warm up, I direct you to my article "Audiophile Law: Thou Shalt Not Overemphasize Burn In". There is discussion of warm up as well. It is at Dagogo.com
