Width of Stage

I now have a very good CDP to go with my high end TT.

Dave Brubeck Time Out, LP approx. 50yrs old, CD about 25yrs old and a Japan SACD new.

Comparing all three I hear symbols on the LP and SACD that I do not on the CD.

The big difference (warmth of LP aside) is the width of the stage, is quit a bit wider when playing the LP! Is this normal?

Thank you for your input.

Peppers; others, CD; LP; Reel to Reel Tape. Invariably everyone prefers LP to Cd and prefers R2R to LP. I had 300 wpc McIntosh SS, and 30 wpc tubes. Invariably ...tubes! It defies 'noise' logic, and it isn't 'warmth' After listening for 50 years, I simply sum it up that Analog gets the Overtones 'right'.
