Why don't more recordings have soundstage outside of speakers

@mahagister
Do electronics ; power amplifier or preamplifier , have any effects
on the soundstage , holographic sound, etc. ?
I may change my integrated amplifier and wounder if I could only buy a power amp. I only use the preamp section of my integrated
for my Lumin streamer. But I could connect it directly to a power amp. using Leedh processing.
No need for the preamp. Section then.
Would I loose anything regarding deepness , soundstage ?

Sorry for the misspell

pragmasi, I prefer a pan hard and delay. That simple pan and invert gives a moving image based on signal content. Delay gives ya better control. Gotta be in the right spot for it to work well. With headphones no need for such crude instruments. No mystery or magic if ya know what is going on and no need to make things up.

For sure they will have an big effect....

Acoustic control does not replace good electronics design pairing, no more than good electronic design could ever replace acoustic control....

I am not an audio engineer, only an average person like you, trying for the last 3 years very hard to create my own system heaven...

I succeeded then it is possible even at low cost...

But you must chose the right components first for sure....

Me i begin to really progress ONLY AFTER i have pick the right basic gear for me and for my purse...Speakers,amplifier and dac....

After that to take care of the 3 working embeddings dimensions: mechanical, electrical and especially acoustical...





If you need advice for pairing amplifier and pre-amplifier, i cannot help you here....
Ask these question to a guy like atmasphere, he is very knowledgeable for all thing related to amplifiers....

His posts are very good....

My best to you......

Mahgister, I want to limit this discussion to live recordings only. Studio recordings are all bets off. But, with live recordings one would like to be able to appreciate the acoustics of the venue the music was recorded in. Those acoustics are imbedded in the recording sonically but unless you have a very elaborate multi-speaker system you can not replicate the directionality of the reflections that clue you into the acoustics. You have to depend on your room to reflect the reflections from the rear where they came from originally. Your room becomes an integral component to your system. This is why a totally dead room sounds "wrong." It is sort of like the applause in a live recording is wrong because it is all coming from the front and not all around you. The distinction comes in the timing. Very early reflections could not be construed as acoustics from the original venue. They come to early and they are loud. They ruin detail and imaging. You want to turn them of to the greatest extent possible but allow surfaces farthest away from the speakers to remain reflective.
