Re: Headphone listening and crossfeed

More than a year has gone since my last post in this thread. I have some new thoughs to share. Superstereo is a bad term. It indicates something positive when in fact it is something negative. So, now I use the term spatial distortion instead. What does spatial distortion mean? We have spatial heari...

Ah, thanks for this info, 71 dB. I feel it's the same here in Norway. I have never met a TD fan here in Norway outside those few I have get to known via the Internet. I talked about the issue with my friend (who has got three TD CDs because of my influence). He told he has met some people who know ...

I have a feeling there may be more TD fans in Finland than in Norway, but I am not sure. Maybe our forum member 71 dB can give some insight or thoughts on this? I feel we have got about 10 TD fans here in Finland! In my opinion Finns in general have really crappy taste in music. It's stupid metal o...

Okay, finally I got the Eastgate delivery. A card with E.F.'s signature was included. What a nice surprise. So, just listened to: Iris Camaa - Straight From The Shoulder It will take more time to say how much I like this CD. Since it is produced (and performed) by E.F. and T.Q., it has some similari...

Best: Construction of my headphone adapter with crossfeed last summer. That revolutionized my music listening! Worst: The last three months at work before christmas! Those weeks really sucked! Most interesting finding in music: Herbie Hancock (funk jazz period of early 70's). Biggest disappointment...

Recently I bought TD's concert DVDs IZU 2009, Lisbon 2010 and Budapest 2012. Lisbon 2010 was that best of these, perhaps the best TD concert I have seen. Over 3 hours of brilliance! TD - Live In Budapest ....love the Star Wars Theme especially the start and the riffy bit. I found it a bit rushed and...

Hipgnosis , you seem to have misunderstood what I mean by listening "fatique" in this context. It has nothing to do with bad and good music. It is about how the music, bad or good is mixed, how the spatial information is "encoded" in the stereophonic sound. Many great Tangerine ...

At least somebody responded to my message. I have wrote this stuff on other forums too without reactions. Perhaps people don't care about these technical things and I just don't understand that because I am an acoustics engineer. :P What different’s buying a very good head set or headphone to hear b...

Headphone listening and crossfeed

The last 6 months or so I have been into dealing with a pretty serious problem of headphone listening, superstereo fatique. Most recordings are produced for loudspeakers. In stereophonic loudspeaker listening both ears hear sound from both loudspeakers. The sound is crossfeeded acoustically and thin...

Music awards tend to be often stupid. Artists who sell well and are "politically correct" are usually awarded rather than those who have made the most significant musical contributions.
