Am I confident in my source?

I am quite confident in my sources.

>> it follows from knowing what stereo and binaural recording and playback means.<<

Perhaps you should look them up.

>> Are you confident in your source? If so, how do you explain all those sources describing binaural and stereo recording as different?<<

Stereo is a very broad term.

Main Entry: ste·reo·phon·ic
Function: adjective
Pronunciation: "ster-e-&-'fä-nik, "stir-
Etymology: International Scientific Vocabulary
: of, relating to, or constituting sound reproduction involving the use of separated microphones and two transmission channels to achieve the sound separation of a live hearing


There are many different techniques binaural being one of them.

Main Entry: bin·au·ral
Function: adjective
Pronunciation: (")bī-'no r-&l, (")bi-
Etymology: International Scientific Vocabulary
1 : of, relating to, or involving two or both ears
2 : STEREOPHONIC

Some people may try to seperate the two to emphasize the unique approach and qualities of binaural recording and playback but the *fact* is binaural recording and playback is a subset of stereo recording and playback. Therefore binaural is stereophonic.
