What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?

@pinwa

This is probably a bit grating and avant garde but I really liked the soundstage when I listened to it on my 20.7s last night. "Ozymandias" off the "Dystonia" album.

Thanks for posting this!

I love atonal, dissonant, and overall, ’angular’ and ’thorny’ sounding classical music, so this sounds right up my alley. I will listen to it more on Bandcamp when I get home tonight.

I am familiar with Thirtwell’s other bands and projects, but have never been too impressed.

Most likely this has been recorded using something like a Blunlein (or some other XY or AB) mic configuration, which would account for the natural soundstage width and depth.

@blisshifi check out Chris Isaak. Have three of his albums. All are audiophile quality recordings.

Carly Pearce - Every Little Thing

The drums being so far back create a nice background to the voice and instruments that are upfront.

Wow.
Not only are you loaded with the good stuff, but also sporting the uniformity of the silver/wood/black visual aesthetics, all the way down to the actual turntable…damn!! Way to go!!

The good stuff awaits…

Harry James on Sheffield.  Direct to disk and then remastered on CD.  Recordings have the real ambience, not some artificial mix on a console.
