Wow, thank you for this!

I might be off base on this as I’m a relative newb in this hobby, but this song off Tidal mesmerizes me.

Still learning what to hear for.

Came across this today and YES.
Crazy sound stage and imaging:

O’Flynn - Tyrion

(Best with YouTube Music version, uploaded in 2019)

There are a couple, but I have three favorite ones. One of them is High and Dry, by Radiohead. There is a specific effect that I find interesting, it seems like the vocals are kind of in a pendulum moving in and out of your head from behind, it’s incredible.

Another one is Angie, by the Rolling Stones. It’s mainly because of the intro of the song, where the guitar, that plays on the left earcup, creates a soft echo on the left earcup that sounds amazing.

And at last, my favorite soundstage recording, the 1994 live acoustic version of Hotel California. No specific reason, it’s just music at its absolute best

Weird, but I hear it too. Phase inverted, maybe. :slight_smile:

Again Floyd…such a beautifully subtle soundstage, delicate, precise and on the Z1R’s quite cathedral like :+1:

Abyss has a good track for testing soundstage on YT (with lossless download)

The “ultime garbage” one they messed up at first and then quick fixed it still being garbage?
No nonooo my man, no. LoL. Was one of the very first ones to listen it and complain about it.
Quick fix did not fix the issues it has… maybe people wont notice or hear the issues but they still there and i have both copies. :slight_smile: (lossless quality does not make up the issues on bad location recording)
Would not trust anything on it for testing.

Oki doki, good to know :+1:

you threw it, and i fucking picked it! great band

I was listening to Deezers Sunday Chill play list this morning and 2 jazzy tracks stood out for their incredible soundstage. From a newb perspective anyway.

  1. Garota de Ipanema by Sergio Mendes

  2. Manha de Carnaval by Joao Donato

Very nice song. Thanks! I didn’t know and just had to look up some more info about her. I found this fine interview; https://simonewaddell.com/getting-to-know-dannielle-deandrea/

Yes what a find. I agree a little less compression would be nice but it’s great acoustic music.

The video you posted is so much beter than what she makes on her own…talking about too much compression!

Yeah, agreed, such a shame, love her as a vocalist.
But check this one out, my favorite of hers. It’s the same audio engineer as with Stories (it may be the same studio I’m not sure).
She really knows how to play with the mic, her crescendos and decrescendos are amazing
