I applied Jungian ideas fully to the subject of sound reproduction, and this led to a kind of fireworks display of observations that, in my view, completely redefine audio and, to some extent, music—at least as I understand it. I listen far more than I used to, but more importantly, I listen differently: different things, with different expectations, with different reference “what music is”, and through a completely different playback, built on entirely different underlying principles.


I would be VERY interested to discover what those principles and expectations are. As I started with music and then added audio, it is always interesting to compare notes with people that did it the other way around. I have spent a lot of time on my "perception" with live and recorded music but the psychological twist for me was more Daniel Kahneman (Thinking fast and slow - gut level vs intellectual) than Jung or Freud.
