What you describe is helpful, useful, and practical for those who seek visual confirmation of what they hear but of course for many audiophiles there is no need to "translate" what they hear in to another form entirely and completely simply for the joy, amusement, and entertainment of "seeing" a sound.
doogiehowser"Can you please explain your need to avoid use of something that would ease the ability for audiophiles to communicate with each other"

You are apparently, evidently, and obviously confused, disoriented, or unable to grasp even basic English, which is all that I can write. I never said anything "should be avoided" so I am not sure why you ask or got any contrary idea, impression, or belief.
