Don't forget the human mind can compensate for a lot of things. Think
of how we can triangulate a sound source in realtime even with the
included echos in a small room. The only thing that I can think of
that messes with that system is a single tone setting up standing
waves. It's impressive if you think about it.
So, it's probably not much of a stretch to imagine the mind
compensating for a little movement here and there (since we have
controls and feedback to monitor that). It may just take a few
thousand years for us to evolve to deal with distortion due to jitter
in our digital recordings :)
All fun aside. This has been a worth while thread in my opinion. I'm
learning more this week, than others watching this list!

length from your ear to the speaker changes at the microsecond level.
You'd think the resulting doppler shift would drive these audiophiles
nuts. All that pitch shifting.
