The only thing I'm disappointed by is that this wasn't posted in General Forum to get more exposure. The link was an excellent demonstration of how our audio perception is linked to visual cues. It also leads me to consider to what degree all five of our sense influence each other.

Here's an interesting thought. If visual cues can influence what we hear, should it not be considered as a legitimate feature of an audio component? If it works out that music sounds better to the human brain when we're looking the pattern of walnut veneer vs maple, should we account for it as a contribution as opposed to a distraction?
