Anyone have any insight into the characteristics of running NOS vs. say ORTF or DIN? Obviously the difference in angle and spacing causes a different phase difference as compared to say ORTF, but what exactly does that "sound" like? In other words, if you were to run ORTF vs NOS in the exact same spot on a given night, in *theory* what would the difference in sound be? I've looked all over for some theory, but nobody can really nail it down. Even the really good stereo recording text book I have dances around any discussion of characteristics of NOS. They mention that the phase differences caused by ORTF results in the "spacious" sound listeners find desirable, but for NOS, they merely mention the difference in spacing as compared to ORTF, but fail to discuss how it changes the sound. Anyone have any thoughts?
