Soundstage depth and width

Further- This test CD(Chesky's 2nd) contains more involved image depth, height and specificity tests( http://hiendaudioshop.wordpress.com/2009/04/04/best-of-chesky-jazz-and-more-audiophile-tests-vol-2-m46/ ) Both CDs are valuable tools, if one is interested in tuning their room/system for best imaging and sound staging.

Rodman:

Thanks for the posts. I'm interested in the LEDR test CD. The article that you linked to was from 1989. Where would once obtain the LEDR CD today?

THanks.

Wow what a smart thread!!

soundstage width and depth are mostly illusions. they are artifacts of a recording.
