Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
Ok, help me out fellas. Is it a myth or what?
I’m a good listener, I listen deep into the music, and I feel like I have good ears. But I can’t confirm that I can hear soundstage depth. I can hear 1 instrument is louder, but this doesn’t help me to tell if something is more forward or more behind. Even in real life and 2 people are talking, I can’t honestly say I know which one is in front.
The one behind will sound less loud, but is that all there is to soundstage depth? I think the answer I’m looking for has to do with something I read recently. Something about depth exist only in the center in most system, the good systems has depth all around the soundstage.
+1 @mahler123 On the cut, ’My Name is Robert Neville’ from the original movie soundtrack, "I am Legend", the opening trumpet sounds like it’s coming from my neighbor’s house across the street - to the right of center.* With lesser quality cabling and/or removing the power conditioner, I can make the sound stage flat as a pancake - without changing anything else. _ _ _ _ _ Similar but not as deep with: 'Fanfare for the Common Man' - Minnesota Orchestra - Copland. |
