EDIT: It took me almost all night (with some assistance from Donunus) to figure out the answer to the question in the thread title... see post #2 for the answer.

EDIT: Below.

1.) Download: http://www.ohl.to/audio/downloads/head-fit.zip
 
2.) Unzip the dll/exe to Foobar's components folder.
 
3.) Download: http://www.yohng.com/files/foobarvst.zip
 
4.) Unzip foo_dsp_vstwrap.dll to Foobar's components folder.
 
5.) Foobar > Preferences > Playback > DSP Manager > move George Yohng's VST Wrapper over to the left side underneath Active DSPs
 
6.) In your Windows system tray, right click VST > VST Setup > Add folder > Foobar's components folder
 
7.) Right click VST > Use VST Effect > Head-Fit
 
8.) Hopefully a new window just popped up with a bunch of options. You may need to select External Source if it's not already selected (as opposed to Internal Generator).
 
9.) I didn't mess with the EQ here, so I have EQ Setup 'off' and Crossfeed Setup 'on.' You may have to toggle EQ Setup on/off if it's showing up on top of the Crossfeed Setup controls...
 
10.) Set 'ILD LF' to -8.5, 'ITD LF ms' to 0.34, 'ITD HF ms' to 0.25, leave 'ILD HF' at -16.0 and leave 'F central' at 1807. I also boosted the volume up to -1.0. You may need to save these settings as a Preset for later use.
 
11.) In the middle of a song, you can toggle the Crossfeed off/on to test its effect, which in most cases is more subtle than you might expect.
 
 
Al Kooper/Mike Bloomfield/Steven Stills' Super Session album (1968) has been my reference album... and the crossfeed provided by Head-Fit makes a night-and-day difference on some tracks while remaining transparent on others. Glad I finally figured this out as I was NOT able to enjoy this album through headphones last night due to the innate channel separation.
 
Hope this information is helpful to someone else down the line. Cheers.
