I must admit, though, that I have not been aware of any definite "sweet spot" whilst moving around the room. Has anyone experimented with phase shifted / delayed audio, i.e. with "raw" audio fed to one half of the headphones and a (variably) phase-shifted / delayed version fed to the other half? Kevin G1HDQ
