[quote user="Gregm"] Binaural (stereo) was patented in 1941 by EMI (Abbey Road studios).[/quote]
Gregm,
you are slightly confided in here. Stereo and Binaural are very different techniques and Binaural was invented long time ago before stereophony...

I'm not sure if you should care but recently - at least within scientific circles - the term binaural has come to mean (more or less) dummy head - including pinnae (outer ears) - which includes interaural time & level differences, head-shape occl...

Adrian, although I find plenty of "mono" recordings that sound better to me in "mono", I will always take good stereo over good mono, other factors being equal. Sure, some "stereo" is so poorly done that it just does not work as stereo.&nb...

So, you use DCX 2496 for deals but not for crossovering and your crossovers are still on analog domain, right? Romy, I do everything in the digital domain so I use DCX 2496 as my crossover as well (but analog SS pro amps). I know you're no big fan of...

I think that nuances with phases synchronization from multiple channels is the last thing that I need to do in my room. I mend the aspects that were exposed in the few recent posts about the practical binaural nature of sound at HF

I know that in the Steinberg WaveLab use only Bob Katz’ metering system, still I thought that if they are cooperate then Katz’ Ambience Recovery might be available as a standalone plug-in. It is kind of suspiring that Mr. Katz was able t...

To move further I need to address a VERY important point.

Well, since Mr. Bongiorno is not around, and his units are
not available to experiment then it is what it is. I have no doubts that this
