RE: A good headphone sytem will "soundstage" surprisingly well...

"The technology is solved. You have more than two channels. Just like DVD's can have multiple language soundtracks."

Why do you need more than two channels for binaural? Isn't that all you need?

"The will is the problem. Actually I bet 80% of pop music today is consumed on headphones. Why aren't most of these binaural recordings?"

I give up. Why aren't they? Perhaps it's because these recording have a zillion tracks/edits. Do we really have the technology today to make these sound natural/good/better?

I weary of the binaural story. I've been hearing it for at least fifty years. So, where's the payoff? Yes, you can listen to a binaural recording and be amazed. I've done it many times. But the reality is, it ain't happenin' in the real world.

Your turn.
