[] re: 1/3 inch

The responses to this note so far imply that the 1/3" is not a serious
problem for speakers.   But what about headphones?  Will I need a
1/3" SPACER on one ear,  or can I even hear the phase shift?

No, I don't own a CD player {yet}.

No!  Even if it is a measurable difference and your ears could
detect it, that great signal processor between your ears would
correct for it.  Just think for a minute how you hear things
that aren't being played from you stereo system for a while.
Do you always turn your head so that you are directly facing
the person who is talking.  Does a third of an inch off center
affect anything?
