i have been wondering about this as well. I taped a local band last week and while the sound is quite good, on playback it doesn't seem to have much in the way of a "stereo" sound. I had my SP's under the brim of my hat, maybe 7-8 inches between caps. Granted it is a small room but I'm getting no stage seperation in the recording. Would it be reasonable to run a spinoff DIN setup but with a closer spacing between the caps? I was thinking the cap size might have something to do with it, but I doubt it. I can torrent a few tracks if anyone is interested in hearing what I'm talking about. The band is pretty cool too, one of the better local bands in town.
i think I'll do that right now actually....
