....and I've been subject to the delusion(s) of 'sound stage' (the perceived width x 'location(s) of performers/instruments') is more a function and/or 'synergy' 'twixt speaker types/room placement/room response...And the 'mixdown' of the applied musical selection...
Whereas, the electronics and the medium from which the selection is applied is (or ought to be) +/- a 'non-participant'...
I'm willing to accept and allow a %tage for LP's and 'physical media' of it's type....*s*
Devils' Advocate Hour.... ;)
Your equipment, cables, et all....ought NOT to add 'color' or 'warmth', which has already been and chided over as being terribly....subjective...*gasp!*L*
