Hi

I am interested to hear which is your favourite CD
for demonstrating your systems' sound stage.

I would imagine a recording of chamber music or
something similar.

Regards

That's easy - Roger Waters - Flickering Flame. It's
recorded in Q Sound which is a 3D sound field from stereo.
We have on track 2 - Too Much Rope a stage coach travelling
across the whole sound stage L-R and then a little later a
F50 Ferrari goes the other way at full song. Oh and it's
not a bad album either.

Cheers TT


Joking? This is an "effect", and while it may be fun - even impressive
at times - there is absolutely nothing that makes it suitable for
demonstrating the sound field of a system. If anything it obscures it.
