There can be some benign explanations that trip not so technical people sometimes, as replay gain tags and the preamp volume settings on SB2/3 these give different volume for the same file ! So the louder gets deemed as richer more resolving with better bass etc , note that small loudness differences don't not get perceived as "louder" but as "better" by small I mean 0,5-2dB depending on your threshold for detecting such stuff But you are half right the process of "hearing" non existing stuff is completely internal and is going on in ones head no signal difference of any kind electrical or acoustical need to exist . But this is a media transmittable affection, modern audiophilia is some kind of media pandemic :) so it is relevant for others but not in good way , we will probably here things like WAV sounds better than FLAC until we die . I'm more old school audiophile listening to good music with a hifi "high fidelity" ideal trying to faithfully reproduce my source material a wide variety of all kinds of music and recordings , some demanding for a hifi system some not ,some sounds horrible and some excellent dodging the imbecilic idea that everything should sound good (it can't, been there done that got the T-shirt). Sadly for young audiophiles with very modern taste most recordings are horrible :-/ so I can sympathize why some falls into the trap of trying to "fix it" with the hifi . The new kind of audiophile listens to cables and stockfish recordings ? or Sheffield labs drumtrack or some such nonsense :) I also have this T-shirt saddly , I will join my local AA (Anonymous Audiophiles) if i get a relapse and buy cable lifters or mpingo discs . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95276 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
