I've done some headphone listening of specially recorded music using microphones embeded in a dummyhead. The results are quite startling, similar to what you experience thru a 3D Viewmaster slideshows with your eyes, everything is in focus and extremely realistic and three dimensional. This controlled playback environment is nearly ideal and extremely difficult to achieve using speakers. I found the early reverb bouncing off the front wall (back of speakers) to be most objectionable, smearing the aural images. I had to move the speakers 4 feet (measured to front baffle) from the front wall before the problem subsided and yes, the later reverbs from the room are highly desirables. -- empty99 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ empty99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3488 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30820 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
