Many thanks for the feedback, John.
I doubt whether the headphones make much difference to localization,
provided they are of reasonable quality. I bought some Sennheiser HD
25-1 11 so I had some sort of standard, but they sound very similar to
the Koss (although with flatter, deeper bass). I did check John
Sunnier's old site, as something about Sony phones rang a bell.. "I have
found only two models of headphones that seem to compromise the binaural
effect, and those are the Sony MDR-V6 and V7."

It could be it all falls apart where I am deaf, or it just 'clicked'
right for me somewhere along the way.
The dog recording is noisy - the laptop, mainly, but if I had moved it
the dog would have moved also..
I suppose I should give up, but I think the observations are still
valid, even if it only works for one person. In particular that
localization is wrt ground not head, except that the image will rotate
about the vertical axis when you turn slowly.
Listening via the dummy head and headphones is very similar to my
natural hearing, and I am not sure which I prefer. For stereo or
Ambisonics playback the dummy head is much better as I don't need to be
confined to a sweetspot, and I get a better image.
Many thanks again. - David.

I downloaded it last week and listened to it a few times, but listening on
closed-back headphones (MDR7506) it doesn't work that well for me. Although the
horizontal localisation is fine, I don't get any vertical clues. I also find
the whole recording rather disorientating - not a pleasant experience, I'm
afraid. I take it the LF hum is from a domestic appliance rather than from
anywhere else?

Stefan. bach, You have not actually downloaded it, nobody has!
Unless you are making the assumption that very low bitrate MP3 is the same as
24bit flac, there is nothing to discuss.
