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

Most pop and rock tends to go to mush IMO, but I was listening to this

Not similar. But a superb soundstage nevertheless. Britten's "A
Midsummer Night's Dream" conducted by the composer (Decca 425 663-2)

Seriously now it does show very well depth and width of
"sound stage" and preciely placing objects in 3D space.

Sorry to reply twice to the same posts, but make that 2D, not 3D.
There is no height to the images created by this method (how could
there be with stereo speakers?).


How do you hear it with two ears?

No single CD.

However I would suggest trying some of the 'BBC Music Magazine' cover CDs.
These are often recorded to give an excellent sense of the instruments in
the real acoustic of the venue/studio. They have the added advantage that
you can often get tickets to go to performances at those venues to form
your own impression of what performances sound like in them. The CDs
generally give the details of the time and location of the recording.

They are also inexpensive and come with a 'free magazine' attached. :-)

Slainte,

Jim
