There is a great number of variables that can affect the sound in general and might cause the soundstage to shift from LP to LP. Some of these variables include but are not limited to time of day, day of week, sunspot activity, AC voltage variability, number of people in the room and changes to the system that were either forgotten or dismissed as too innocuous.
Is it possible for the center image to drift from lp to lp?
Lately it seems I'm having to adjust speaker positioning, slightly, to accommodate for "center image drifting".
It does seem to fluctuate somewhat between varying lps.
Could it be either of these things:
(1) I'm a 57 year old male.
(2) The transparency of my system .
(3) The mixing of any particular lp.
(4) Once one's system is revealing enough, is it possible to hear if the center image, ( in the case of a vocalist) moves slightly from one side of the microphone?
I'm hoping for most to come down on number 4.
Thanks.
