I said that the ambient noise from the car itself as well as road noise

such that most stereo information is lost or imperceptible in vehicles

thus, not appreciated. In addition, the processing on nearly all stations
reduces the dynamic range, so the stereo effect of different levels from
left and right is eliminated... and that applies to any listening
location.

It's easy to perceive depending on the material. Say a different
instrument comes from left and right at the same volume. Easy to tell
even with road noise.

Part of the perception of dimension comes from dynamic range. Radio so
limits range that the information is lost and the ability to interpret
spatial relationsips is diminished.

That's right Eduardo, dynamic range only plays a part in stereo.

I said that there were stations that got the stereo light to shine
without actually being in stereo. The objective was deceiptful, as
what they wanted was to make people think that the station was
stereo when it wasn't. Most people never figured that out as they
couldn't tell the difference.

How am I supposed to know about most people. You saying most people
are stupid then?

No, most people don't realize there is no stereo separation because
the lit stereo light convinces them it is stereo when it is not.

I can't speak for most people and neither can you. I am quite capable of
telling the difference.

I don't believe the 60% mono figure. You are not making any
sense at all today.

I really don't care what you believe as you have no data to the
contrary while the radio industry has countless valid surveys.

People don't lie in the surveys? Mistakes are not made? Silly
people like you are not around to misinterpret the data?


My staff does about a hundred thousand interviews a year, all of
which I can monitor. We see no indication of lies, since lying about
a station or about music they like has no gain. QC will avoid
mistakes, and a percentage of reconfirm callbacks can achieve that.
As to the interpretation, we've done better in the ratings than any
other major player over the last years, so we must be doing our
research, interpretation and implementation quite well.

You do not understand the scientific process and bias the results of
your interviews in a number of ways so the results fit your preconceived
notions. Do continue to fool yourself.
