Re: The interesting connection

It is a gross simplification that because we cannot hear over 20Khz, that 10 uSec information is useless..

Calculate the difference in time between right and left ear for a source ten feet away, and one foot off axis..that seems like a reasonable thing for a species that used to depend on hunting to survive..Course, it also is a reasonable thing for the existance of a soundstage between two speakers 10 feet apart, and ten feet away from the listener.

Mtry on AR (or was it Radar) gave me some links to the studies that showed the human subject response to L-R delays...Some subjects ran down to 10 uSec capability, statistically valid..And yes, it certainly does seem to contradict..

So I certainly wonder how a 22 uSec sampling period can be capable of conveying 10 uSec information necessary for soundstage.

Cheers, John
