What I prefer myself is any live acoustic stuff e.g Eric
Clapton Unplugged or the Corrs Unplugged just name two off
the top of my head. Also any Diana Krall, Norah Jones etc.

Cheers TT


Live acoustic is always likely to be better, depending how it is
recorded, of course.For me assessing a sound stage means that there
must be a sound stage to asses. That needs a live recording, not
something created on the desk.

Agreed. I find multitrack/layered rock/pop recordings are usually very
tedious to listen to as there isn't that "correct place" in 3d space for the
instruments/vocals. BTW 6ch done badly is even worse :-(
