P3D Stereo sound

This is pretty commonly known among audiophiles, or at least used to be.  It was common for classical radio stations in the 60s and 70s to have regular programs devoted to dummy head recordings.  The acoustically opaque headphones were the best, such
as the old Koss liquid-filled.

The complaint was that the illusion worked only as long as the listener kept his head absolutely still.  It took a serious lover of this sort of thing to sit through an hour of it.

Great fun, though...
