An art teacher I once knew remarked that, "There is no color but the relationship of color." For example, you cannot make the most brilliant orange color imaginable simply by loading up your painting with tons of pure orange hues. Your sense of the "orangeness" of orange will depend greatly on what other complimentary colors are juxtaposed alongside the orange color(s), and so you might never sense truly vibrant reds and oranges without the simultaneous presence of pure greens and blues, etc... And I have often thought that our sonic environments work in much the same way. My thought is that if there is no background noise at all, or if the void is completely "black", your ear/brain trys to create a subliminal fabric against which the tonal palette can protrude and this is what makes some people sense "digital noise" when they listen to CD. But. if there is just the right amount of the right type of background noise, the ear/mind can actually relax. So, I say this might be one reason why vinyl seems so tonally rich and relaxing to listen to. A ridiculous theory? So what! And let the flames begin...
