Maybe usecs > of difference from one ear to the other are not noticable too. One microsecond means 0.34 mm (1/75 inch) at the speed of sound, or 0.12 degrees change of direction for a frontal sound source. So you need 8 usecs to change the direction by one degree. Maybe you could detect that if your head were clamped in a vise. Test at your own risk :-) Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
