Apparently it loses the effect with the Linkwitz crossover turned on. Everything just sounds like it's right behind you and all the left/right tricks are gone.

It is easy: combine Panasonic electrets with earbuds, plug into your own ears, and record such a way.

hmmm..... doesn't this tell us that we are sensitive to the horrible phase distortions crossovers create?

Haha nope it tells you that you should be wearing headphones. This demo is made for headphones only.

I think he was wearing headphones. He said "everything goes right behind you...."

Crossover, crossover, why did I write that, gah. My brain has short-circuited.

I mean a crossfeed for headphone use, or acoustic simulator, of course. Like this thing: http://www.headwize.com/projects/cmoy1_prj.htm.

Sorry for the mixup.

Ah okay that makes more sense. Yeah that's because what the simulator is doing is trying to simulate Stereo in Binaural. Or make headphones sound like speakers.

So you are using a mismatched conversion. You are trying to convert something which isn't stereo and is already bi-naural to bi-naural.

The crossfeed simulates the crossfeed when using speakers in a room.

It was pretty fun fr me, actually. I had heard this recording a long time ago, on a simple system and was quite amused by it for a while.

When I got the crossfeed in my headphone amp, I didn't really give it much thought, I just loved what it did to the music I listen to and how much easier and pleasant it was to listen to music for longer periods of time.

Now that I saw this again, I immediately thought - I should hear this with my new headphone amp, completely forgetting about the crossfeed. So at first I wondered what happened for a few seconds.

In a way, this recording shows me the effect of the crossover in a different way, one that I can actually think about, so it was a good thing hearing it. Oh, and by the way, it does sound amazingly fun on my amp, with the crossfeed turned off
