3-Dimensional Soundstage

I have appreciated a quite nice separation of instruments in my system's soundstage.  I have read many times about people experiencing depth in their music and have never appreciated this.  I was talking to an audiophile friend this week about it and he brought up the fact that recorded music is a mix of tracks and how could there be any natural depth in this?  If there was a live recording then yes, it is understandable, but from all studio music that is engineered and mixed, where would we get depth?  Are the engineers incorporating delays to create depth?

This subject stresses the importance of Engineers & Mixing in the recording process.  The internet is such a great resource.  The Allmusic site will list the engineers on an album and then links that engineer to all the other albums they were part of.  If there is an album that you really enjoy the spatial aspect of you you can see other bands that use the same people and discover quite a lot of music that ways.

Yes imaging is manufactured but talented people can manipulate it in such a way that at times it better than live.
