I stuck a finger in my ear and was enlightened.

Makes me wonder if all that stereo imaging stuff is worth the bother
(not that I bother, especially).


It *is* worth it if you can manage to get a clear image. Once achieved the
value becomes evident. :-) The problem is that really good stereo imaging
can be hard to obtain, hence is perhaps rarely experienced from domestic
'stereo' systems.

Slainte,
