From whence does Sound Stage come?
@oldrooney - I achieved "the icing on the cake" by getting excellent cables. Of course speaker position and acoustic treatment  are important, but good cables allow the signals to be conveyed as recorded which recreates the venue perfectly*. Reg... 
From whence does Sound Stage come?
@oldrooney -  "I’m ordering the Chesky CD tomorrow."       You should find it worth every Cent spent!        A few helpful room/system evaluation tests, beyond the LEDR.        Beware of the signal levels, on the CD's last few tests/tones. ...

@macg19- " ...I guess I'm set up fairly well."                   Affirmation/Confirmation feels good, right?                                     Happy listening!  
From whence does Sound Stage come?
     The tests that I referenced are scientifically designed to eliminate all variables, as far as the source/recording.       If your system reproduces the effects, as recorded and announced/described prior to play; your system will reproduce wh... 
From whence does Sound Stage come?
     Without actually being in the room, with your system/media; it would be difficult (an understatement) to accurately diagnose your issue(s), but, whenever a question arises, regarding sound stage and imaging; I suggest the following tests, by ...

Tip for purchase new power cable

Quick Question About Power Cables
     No one can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new addition.   There are simply too many variables.      LIKEWISE: no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of disc, cr... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
    Then too: the typical SS component's total internal wiring can be measured in scant inches (copper AWG or not/if any at all*) and thus: inconsequential.      The combined total, internal wiring of my PTP wired, Cary valve monoblocks = 16".  ... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
 Open any amp or speaker and tell me what kind of wires do they use to connect them with? Copper AWG                          The usual ignorance (willful, or otherwise).                                          A FIRST PAGE replay:         ...
