ROTFL .. ;-))

Wow, Rich you are very rich of humor, I must say ;-)

This whole thread is so funny - THANK YOU ALL.

Rich, you seriously cannot mean that, do you ?

Well, maybe for your amusement, 
there is another stereo 'surround' technique using an artificial dummy
head, where the ears are plugged into the artificial dummy ears.

Indeed, that is a very sophisticated stereophonic recording technique,
which gives you surround sound.

But hey, do we want to sit there with headphones ?

But you go ahead, 
everything more (rich) than binary must be idiotic, pun intended ;-))

Wow .. that's worth a laughter, indeed.

Cheers, Sven
