Default Frequency response of the ear

Here's how it works. Quick speech recording, played against a constant
reverb impulse (a local church, in fact), repeated five times with the
ratio of direct and reverberant sound changed each time - final one is
reverberant only.

Obviously greatly exaggerated for illustration.

Reminds me I've still got a 'Norwegian Wood' clip here somewhere! :-)

Anyway, nothing new there Don - Pinky was on about that years ago and also
claiming the better 'spatiality' (I'm avoiding the word 'depth' - it's
become the subject of controversy) from triode valves was due entirely to
*internal reverb/feedback* caused by 'Miller Effect' (IIRC)...??

I went to check and found nothing and hesitate to post these links:

....because I don't really need to know and I don't want hitting over the
head with them; I post them only for perusal by others....
