Crossfeed

[willbewill]

As I'm now mostly listening on headphones, I'm thinking I would like to play around with crossfeed circuits to hopefully get a more speaker like experience.

So looking for any information, circuits, experience, advice.

Headphones are not something I involve myself in much really, so the 'crossfeed' term is a new one on me. I'm guessing this amounts to a proportinate or gradual blend of left/right information from the amp output to reduce the channel separation.

Some Hafler type simulated quadraphonic circuits for rear speakers were rather similar.

You get mixed results depending on curcuit and its very music dependant. There are some software ones too. Meier cross1 is supposed to be one of the better ones. Depends if you listen to a lot of music that has instruments coming out of one channel.
