A deeper more holographic soundstage.

I was wondering by what means you have created a deeper soundstage. I am satisfied with the width but I really feel it is a bit 2 dimensional. It doesn't go back far enough. I like more layers of sound that reach towards you from the blackness.
As I've already spent quite a bit on my system I am unable to buy much more expensive components.
Did you upgrade one component that made the difference? Placement of speakers? New footers or tweaks such as Stillpoints?
Two subs instead of one(I have one)? Different placement of subs? I am working with a very tight space so it is difficult to move things without them being in the center of the room.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My best change was from getting a curious cable 
it became 3 d but slightly narrow and shorter image

I read a lot of things written here as if they are gospel. I will give you my own experience.


Gospel? No. Physical reality yes.

If your speakers are two feet from the wall it's easy to calculate where you will have a null in the frequency response.

Sans room treatment it's a given echos front and back, sides may not be too bad given size and placement.


Speakers at 2 feet, 10 feet apart listening at about 12?  ... Some bass nodes at play.

Room correction?

You may very well enjoy your system but is the soundstage real or echo? Is it ideal? No.

A lot of random noise here. If you are happy with your gear and want to achieve a 3D Holographic Soundstage with scale and accurate instrument voicing, call Joe Abrams at Equus Audio. I’ve used MIT products since the late 90’s with excellent results. The new REV line Joe offers are extremely good and worth every dollar...they will allow your system to produce the most accurate rendering of an acoustic space possible.

besides room treatment the next important step is to get your digital equipment on vibration control gear. One example, my transport sits on TR bases from marigo, then his special shelf, marigo 4 40 millimeter vibration spacers, a granit mdf shelf, 4 six in. springs under that, and then another granit mdf shelf and then the final footers some kind of ball bering mini devices under that. Not only are taking out vibrations from your equipment but you are also dealing with earth vibration.I did this over ten years ago. More analog, three dimensional, cleaner sound than I ever thought possible. Vibration vibration vibration. This is the key to better sound.

Marigo audio is one of the kings of vibration control. Give him a call, he will help you greatly.
