The entire album or the song?good one...i think 'tango in the night' is well recorded too
The entire album or the song?
Entire. That's what makes them special.
Its easier to find well recorded songs.
Cypress Hill - IV - track 5.
After 2min point theres an effect when sound comes out from R speaker, buzzes around the room passing just in front of your face and goes back into L speaker.
Interesting, it was more audible on my old multiway speakers, compared to current FR.
Better HF dispersion I guess.

It feels like forever since I spun Cypress Hill. I have only one CD that survived the tests of time. I don't even remember what title that one is...I just know it exists and I will find out 🙂
Coincidentally Rage Against the Machine is currently playing on my spo**y. Roughly from around the same era I guess.
I picked up imaging by doubling up providing the HF and LF 2 more conductors. I was thinking if a fair bit of current is going through 2 conductors and it can't hurt. Imaging for sure improved its not my imagination or supplements of any kind 😉
We DO know a soundstage is a created effect, don't we? This so-called soundstage is a fully studio fabricated entity...with a dozen or more soundtracks, instruments galore, each is selected where left to right, reverb level...countless effects , all fabricated within the mind of the studio engineer. If the sound event is NOT recorded with just two microphones, it is a fabricated sound. When was the last time you would hear one instrument solely on the right channel, with absolutely nothing on your "left ear"?

Fleetwood Mac "rumours" is sweet. I prob listen to it every month. I use lots of the track folk have suggested. The above are some of my other favs.
On some level, the "stage" and the size of the stage are all in the mind. I often will close my eyes and imagine the stage/room to be wider than what it is.
With all the YT suggestions, is there any consensus where the Soundstage essentially drops out due to bit-width / sample rate limitations?
Or are some recordings just done so well Soundstage wise, that the effect persists across multiple transcriptions from the source - whatever that was.
In support of "a good recording can survive it"; I often hear remarkable SS on streaming radio, granted the higher sample rates do sound better. It's, shall we say, enough to keep me entertained in the SS department.
I cant tell if the YT links are for actual listening, or to just clearly show what album you're talking about with the cover pictures. Maybe the SS is so good in the original recording, it can persist through whatever YT does to it, to save themselves bandwidth.
"Well, why dont you click on it and see?" That would involve getting up from my chair, dragging a long USB cable over to my listening position, plugging it into my laptop there. I havent yet learned how to "throw" a YT video URL link from a random page on my laptop browser, over to my Daphile system that usually drives the amps via USB - and simply have it play.

We DO know sci fi or computer animation is not real, yet we enjoy it.
Why do you watch sci fi movies? They are NOT real.
I do not see the point of your post Rick...

It might of been yesterday or the day before. Its a common occurrence. Or else I didn't understand the question.
My amplifier and preamp L & R channels are 100% isolated as in true dual monaural. I notice instruments on one side while the other a lot. Why does the other channel need to be quiet to explain the point?
Isn't that common practice? Drums recorded on one side, or both sides, L&R, a rhythmed guitar on the other, and so on.
'Qsound' recordings seems to create some nice soundstage effects. Roger Waters's 'Amused to death' has been mentioned, another one is Sting 'The soul cages'. I usually listen to some songs from these albums when evaluating tweaks or new stuff.
Good recommendations for music choice and a good way to test your system, listen to some good music. I had a laugh with the Roger Waters song because the first 30 seconds the music is very low and I turned up the volume. Maybe that was the intent, instead of someone saying turn it up?

The Wall is outstanding for sound effects, the top of the heap. And top notch recordings. I never get tired of the Wall. If it gets knocked off the top it could be by another Pink Floyd recording.

Are those 2-way or 2.5-way? What crossover point?Good recommendations for music choice and a good way to test your system, listen to some good music.
