Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Antipodal filtering

sample set to full scale. I create them with adobe audition. I usually start maybe 100mS in to catch any pre-ringing. So, just create a 5 second wav/flac/whatever file with all samples set to zero except for one, which is set to full scale or 50% full scale or so. -C -- ccrome2 Caleb Crome

Thanks for the feedback everybody. I definitely notice the oddness of depth with these things, but I assume that's pretty much par for the course with headphones. If something it panned to only 1 ear, it images to appear sort of behind and below my ear lobe. -Caleb -- ccrome2 Caleb Crome

Ya, those sound like good suggestions. That sounds like a good way to find your candidate positions. -- ccrome2 Caleb Crome Sr. Hardware Engineer Logitech SMBU (i.e. the Squeezebox people) BThe future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet./B I-William Gibson/I
