In the Thread: The nature of "soundstage" in audio.
Post Subject: As I understand itPosted by Antonio J. on: 2/4/2008
Imaging is what you experience from a good mono recording, which is closer to reality in a live performance, but kind of narrower. Soundstage is what you get from most hifi systems, a quite false illusion of music happening into its own fake, delimited space, detached of the acoustic space of the room where the system is placed. Probably it has some relation with compression and many other audio-performance factors, but IMO getting imaging from a stereo system, instead of soundstage, requires a good amount of knowing your room, placing well your speakers and having some properly performing sources, like the TU-X1 for instance.

Rgrds.
