Yes, it's not real - It's all in your head!
Dick Heyser, said it best - when he wrote about multidimensional audio. I paraphrase here: "in stereo reproduction we take two somewhat correlated voltage signals that before reaching the ears are split between several loudspeaker drivers who's individual acoustical responses are convolved with the room's acoustical resonances and reflections. The listener's ears pick of those signals and converts them to neural impulses that are converted to a multidimentional immagined soundfield with breadth, depth, and height; pitch, pace, and space".
And notice that the listener will accomplish this in all but the worst recordings - even monophonic recordings - knowing all the time that the actual performance may not ever have existed at all - but was assembled or contrived by a producer or engineer from performances distanced by space and time, themselves distorted by the recording venue and electronics.
So there.
