• What have ...

    From Adrian Caspersz@email@here.invalid to uk.rec.audio on Sat Sep 10 12:50:59 2022
    From Newsgroup: uk.rec.audio

    What have the following album titles got in common?

    Praise - Praise (Miriam Stockley)
    Amused to Death - Roger Waters
    The Soul Cages - Sting
    The Immaculate Collection - Madonna

    Ideally from CD, but check them out on Spotify with properly set up and separated stereo speakers.

    Remember the equilateral triangle!!

    We don't need audio gear to work out what titles have in common - we
    just need the titles, which you have kindly supplied. I don't see any linguistic or semantic connection other than a very vague christian
    reference maybe.

    Which; as you implied, disappear when copying the CD to a data reduced
    format, Mini Disc/MP3 ETC.

    Dark Side Of The Moon is pretty good through six speakers:-)

    The effect doesn't totally disappear with compression, at least not on
    Spotify at their highest (crap) bitrate. Try "Amused to Death - Roger
    Waters" which is done particularly well.

    Yeah, Pink Floyd have played with this stuff before, on 'Wish You Were
    Here' though the exact system used is not credited, and could be an
    extreme L/R phase shift on the start of the track.

    Yup, got that on SACD and specially went out on eBay for a used Denon
    DVD/SACD player with discrete multichannel outputs to play it through my
    six speakers. I think I prefer the sound of my LP copy to be honest.

    There is also something called "8D Audio", Binaural 3D google tells me,
    which is meant to be effective on headphones.

    Some fancy mobile phones and earbuds do some post edit sound processing
    to match peoples earlobes, using a phone camera to take a 3D image of
    the ear shape to further tune the psychoacoustics.

    Curiously the new iPhone 14 features this and so has personal crash
    detection, which presumably comes into play for the owner when you unfortunately drive over them, them being completely oblivious to their surroundings?

    Next addition to a mobile phone will be an airbag.

    Excuse me while I ring the patent office ...

    Watching or listening though helicopter ER the other day I was fascinated
    to hear that a horse rider who fell off escaped serious injury due to her personal air bags.

    Antiphase for this is an old trick. Alas, with the ESLs in my living room
    it essentially gives a near-null in level where I sit. Worked a bit better
    in another room where there is a window bay behind the listening seat.
