Is it possible to hear sound through pictures?

[Puffin]

I have just been enthused by the wonderful system pics posted by Zimbo. I can hear that those speakers sound wonderful. How? Is it because I expect them to sound wonderful or is it based on experiences of similar.... or something else.

In the past I have posted vids of certain systems I have had and some say that it is pointless to do so as you cannot really get an idea of how the system sounds and is pointless. It of course depends on what you use to replay the vid as to the quality of playback, but is it worthwhile to at least hear a facsimilie of what is seen. I believe it adds to the enjoyment of what you see.

Don't know. Might be interesting, but as you say it would be dependant upon your own replay equipment. So much stuff standing between his microphone and your ears. I'd still give it a listen though, as it would put you 'in the room' far better than just a still photo.

Well you can get speakers that look like pictures, does that help? :)


I do know what you mean though, I can get a fair idea of what a system is likely to sound like by the appearance of the speakers.

In my "miss-spent yoof", I could sometimes see music, but that's something else entirely ;)

True a speaker's appearance will give an idea of its sound character, but just how it will sound with the associated equipment, in that particular room, not so much.

It's strange, but I can agree with that. When I first saw a picture of my speakers, I just knew they would sound good. That was before I ready not a single bad word about them. I just knew from their appearance that they would be great.

Strangely it doesn't work for me if the pictures are professionally set up and shot, only if they're taken by an owner of said speakers.

Weird eh?

And feel it :)

And feel it :)

Oh yes, I forgot about that... happy days :)

In the same way you can taste colours?

It taught a new understanding of and appreciation for music. Acts like Floyd, Bowie, Zep, Beefheart, Airplane etc (and why Lennon was better than McCartney)! They all knew what it was about. Obviously, it had to be banned as people were enjoying themselves too much and look at the huge death toll. Oh, hang on, there weren't any!

Some heavy users did lose their marbles though. I've known a few. And then there's Peter Green, David Crosby and so on.

One bloke I knew who tried Fly Agaric one time reckoned it took him a year to feel 'normal' again. Said he was seeing triangles everywhere.

Yes, in rare cases it could cause mental issues. Generally with those who'd had previous and unrelated problems. But then so can THC.

Fly Agaric is different, it contains toxins that can have nasty effects.

You have to prepare the Fly Agaric carefully to mitigate that, but even if you do the psycho-active effect is very powerful.

I knew plenty of people who took LSD regularly, they all experienced mental health issues. One ended up being sectioned. I had it once and that was enough for me. Not unpleasant but not entirely pleasant either and I don't think I've ever been the same since.

Just about everybody I knew back in the late sixties and early seventies used it, many of them regularly and I'm talking about hundreds of people. I only recall one who said it gave him mental problems, yet he seemed fine, well, certainly no odder than before. Maybe he just became more aware of his issues. There are tales of later stuff being adulterated though, perhaps that's what you came across. Funny thing is underdosing could be unpleasant, becoming disorientated and feeling weird but not 'turning on'.



'Far out' :D

Remember 'Operation Julie'?

Andy Munro is the legendary clumsy chemist described in Leaf Fielding’s ‘Tripping Policemen’ monologue on youtube http://youtu.be/WVoKFWq0-7U, who literally dropped acid and impregnated the carpet, leading to a trio of tripping policemen when the carpet was removed. On another occasion, Munro spilled a flask of nearly a quarter of a kilo of near final LSD in a wash basin. In mitigation of Munro’s clumsiness, it’s difficult to make LSD without the chemist involved tripping, and even Richard Kemp – the master LSD chemist – had an accident in his lab in the early days and ingested a huge amount of LSD.
