A very interesting read. Here's my favorite sentence: "If that sentence made you yearn for a glass of classy red, congratulations, there's a very real chance you're a pompous asshole."
I think he makes a very good point about perception - we engage ALL of our senses with any stimulus. Eating or drinking is more than just tasting, it's seeing, hearing, and touching too. Then there's the emotional component. I remember when I was a kid, my brother put together some wild concoction in a glass and he told me to take a taste. It was dark in color. I took a sip and had difficulty swallowing and felt my gag reflect kick in...it tasted horrible. When I asked him what he put in it, he said it was just water with blue food coloring. I said BS, what did you put in it?!?!? Reluctantly, I took another sip and sure enough, it tasted just like water. I was amazed and dumbfounded!! That experience has always stuck with me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98740 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
