I think the perception of the recording space and > how real the instruments/voices sound has a very large meaning. At least to me they do! These qualities are, I believe, independent for the most part of frequency response and other things that are measureable.

If that is true, please contact Stereophile, Absolute Sound, and any/all other magazines and also equipment manufacturers. I am sure they would all be interested. These things are usually reported on by the reviewers, and the information is gathered by *listening*. The measurements can sometimes explain gross differences in sonics, but I haven't ever seen a definitive measurement that quantifies how deep a soundstage is presented by any equipment in any room, or explains why item 'A' provides a deeper soundstage than item 'B' in the same room and with the same ancillary equipment. m1abrams;611185 Wrote: > However the issue with soundstage is it has more to do with speaker > placement than anything else so while I can measure it in my home the > results would not mean much in your home.

Sure, I agree things will sound different, and > the room, speaker placement, and everything else affects how things are perceived. I am not saying your setup will sound the same as mine nor anyone else's. But, as someone stated, amplifier 'A' may present a deeper/more recessed soundstage than amplifier 'B' even tho power output, FR, etc., etc. are all measurably 'identical'. I do not believe we have measurements for these types of perceptions at this time. -- Rick58 Bits: Azur 840C, Oppo 980H, SB Touch; Squiggles: Thorens TD-145 + Denon DL160; Pre-Heater: McIntosh C220; Heaters: Bottlehead Paramount 300B; Wavemakers: Triangle Titus, NHT SubOne ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rick58's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42940 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85681 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
