Hi,I'm not so sure this is the alpha state. This sounds like we
enter some sort of dream state. I don't think this captures it.The state I'm thinking about more closely resembles a hunter
in the woods listening for the sound of footsteps of approaching
game. Is this the alpha state??? I would think it is this state
that an audiophile seeks to listen in, and this state is closer
and more in tune with physical reality then internal.Also brought up was why music teachers have such mediocre systems.
I think in this case, they are listening more to the internal world
than the physical. I have 3 music teachers I know that this
phenomena (why they tolerate mediocre systems) has always fascinated
me. I think their ears are better trained to perceive phrasing, and
the different voices in the music than mine. These needs are
satisfied by mediocre systems.Audiophiles on the other hand are listening to decay of notes into
the background, image sizes, size of soundstage, layering, etc...
An audiophile ear has additional ques that are being sought from the
sound. These are not satisfied with mediocre systems.And it definitely requires a physical reality to perceive these.
