Likewise, when listening to someone else in the real world, one gets the full spectrum of frequencies, the resonance of the room or the air, etc. Much of that is lost in the thinness and dryness of a recording, and the technology has to work hard to put it back. It's like stage actors wearing very artificial makeup so that, from a distance, their facial expressions will seem to have a natural definition.<BR/><BR/>Okay, I'll stop geeking out now.
