I've only heard an ambiophonic system and was impressed. If Super Stereo can recreate the sound that the mics originally heard, what does ambiophonics do that ambisonics can't? Does ambisonics cancel cross talk as well (like ambiophonics does)? I'm assuming also that Super Stereo is not anything like the crappy DSP modes that one found in cheap AC3 converters about 10 years back, particularly on Sony equipment (Hall, Arena, Church) where bad reverb was just added artificially, right? I have read this 3 times to make sure i didn't mess up or cross the spelling of ambiophonics or ambisonics (ambiosonics? ambiphonics? Aminosonic acids?), but i probably did anyhow :") Thanks, Bearcat _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
