Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
       The adherents of the Naysayer Church will never accept that there exist a multitude of variables, when an accurate simulacrum of performers and their performance in a particular venue, is the desire/goal.         If their result differs fr... 
Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
@cd318- Since 99.99% of commercial recordings were made with little or no consideration for sound quality, let alone soundstage depth, it could be considered more than a little irresponsible to advocate upgrading in pursuit of this elusive sound... 
Is soundstage width a myth?
@chocaholic -        Lots of special effects, on that album, via a process called, "Q-sound" among various other recording tricks/gyrations.        My favorite: the horse-drawn sleigh, that comes onstage from behind my left shoulder and proceeds... 
Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
                             How LARGE do you like your music?      Unless a system can cleanly reproduce all the information (well engineered/recorded in an environment with good acoustics and mic placement) in a quality cut, to the original/int...

     Whenever imaging or soundstage are mentioned, I like to remind people about these resources: The following provide tests, with which one may determine whether their system actually images, or reproduces a soundstage, as recorded.        ie: ...

Let's share key moments in our musical lives
      At the age of ten (1958): discovered what the FM dial was for, on our DuMont AM/FM/TV/Phono console.       Heard 'Take Five' on my '66 Olds 88's radio, beginning my love affair with Jazz.       I enlisted in the Marines just before the rel... 
Does Hearing Loss Disqualify Me from Audiophiledom?
                                AudioPHILE = audio LOVER (literally)      iow: If you love AUDIO, you qualify (irrespective of anything else, including hearing).       'Music' differs from 'audio' in definition, but many conflate them (semantics...
