Vocal eliminators work by subtracting the left and right signals from each 
other. Usually outputting a mono signal, but I have seen one that ouputs a
mock stereo (mono to left and phase shifted mono to right!) signal. Sounds
a bit better than mono, but if recorded and played back on MONO equipment
all the music disappears....(remember, its out of phase with itself)

I will post an ASCII of a cirsuit I use, which is very good when used with
a CD/Tape source. CD is best, and it varies depending on how the original
CD/Tape/Record was mixed as to how well it works. It is only a simple circuit
(3 transistors and a dual opamp) but it works, and it also doesnt clobber
the bass signal (usually also in the centre) ... hence the opamp (a low pass
filter)

Keep watching .... when I get it ASCII'd i will post!
