In Reply to: Like I said, that system is the best. posted by Bruce Kendall on May 8, 2007 at 18:42:13:
I just wondered if you were getting sound from (to? into? into the back of?) one ear or two. I normally have a ping pong match going on in my head (from the very early days of stereo) and, aside from the scoreboard, where the digits are so small I can't read them with even my mind's eye, I find the experience very pleasureable...plus the imaging is great.
Follow Ups:
So I had to do something really weird, which was to actually think about it. To tell you the truth, I was a little surprised by the results.When listening to music in my head, I hear it in stereo if I have a point of reference, or a time when I was listening to a certain song or album on a system that really impressed me. Otherwise, the music is just "there". Weird, I never gave that any thought before.
Now you've given me a new audiophile thing to worry about: Why doesn't the system in my head always play in stereo? Can I upgrade to multi-channel? What if other audiophiles find out the system in my head doesn't always play in stereo? At least I can't worry about cables, interconnects and power cords. Oh, no! It'll never be the same again!
Stereo is gimmicky. Sound is spatial is the real world. It comes from its source and spreads globally, not in one direction. Ever heard a live performance or concert in stereo. If that happened you were in one of a handful of perfect seats. Otherwise the sound is just there. Listening to any audio system is artificial. Sure stereo can be pleasing and pleasurable. And sometimes when you close your eyes the music is just there, the drums there, the vocals there, etc...As far as upgrades, the system in your head is free. Upgrade, just think about it. Don't you think.

Although you don't have to worry about cables, you do have to (now) worry about synapses and whether they should be bypassed with a small cap, etc. Not to mention serotonin levels and how they affect the sound--neverminding your moods! It's a brave new world, but somebody is going to make a few bucks on it!
"Normal" in brain music playback is just there for me, too. Similarly, stereo only comes into play when I know that something in particular is unusually placed.number
