"William Sommer****** is an Ass"

"Phil Allison"
I said "phase or timing differences", when I should have said "phase".
Above about 1kHz, phase differences are not used for directionality.

** But time of arrival for any transient is CRUCIAL !!

You're knowledgeable tons of things, but here you're wrong.

** FFS - I am agreeing with you.

Transients ARE high frequency sounds.



The ear cannot and does not hear phase

This is fact (read any book on acoustics). I confirmed it 44 years ago
when I used an oscillator with fixed and variable-phase output feeding
stereo headphones.

** Phase differences are not heard on headphones at all -- with *SINE*
waves.

They are.

** Like hell.


But with speech, music and other real sounds, reverse phase is VERY
obvious.

You didn't read what I wrote.


** I don't give a **** what you wrote .

Cos you make **** up.
