In Reply to: RE: A good headphone sytem will "soundstage" surprisingly well... posted by Frank I on July 22, 2013 at 17:30:15
Perhaps Chesky is the vanguard of binaural stereo that sounds good on speakers.
But here's the thing. If it is as good as you say it is, will the industry follow David's lead?
If they do, it will be the first time, ever.
I hope they do, but I don't think they will.

The product will be as most high end products are a niche but the music is good and I will continue to support the format because they sound great. David doing a great job with the binaural stuff. Give them a try they are excellent disc especially the Amber Rubarth disc.
The mainstream also did not support sacd but I keep buying them and they are also available in bountiful abundance and great reissues being done as well as new recordings.
It's just that the last fifty years of attempts at making binaural viable in the marketplace have gone nowhere.
I hope you're right.

The last fifteen years or so have brought us way more (and better) headphone designs, way more (and better) compact audio systems designed for nearfield and/or headphone use, and way more headphone audiophiles than the previous thirty-five years combined. High-end headphone systems are the thing for the newest crop of audiophiles, simply put. Of course, this will always be a "niche hobby" by most standards but the equipment needs and the need for headphone specific recordings are changing, accordingly. Binaural has never had a better chance of succeeding than it does today.I'm betting that the demand for things like binaural recordings will only continue to grow in the near future - but I also think that more of us need to start bugging the bigger recording labels (labels much bigger than Chesky!) about it. The "bigger labels" that have shown an interest in producing great sounding recordings might be Blue Note, DG, Hyperion, Decca, Naxos, Channel Classics, ECM, Harmonia Mundi (for starters)...
