Songs with great soundstage

[MJ23Bulls]

How about KKKG and Devdas albums for SQ & Soundstage. Do they still have to work more to get into the top shelf? #JustAsking!

i tried that, but due to the lack of a table vice or a similar device to hold the hot banana [ :lol: ] i had to lay it down and solder the side slit.

Modelling clay might be an option. I've seen it being used on quite a few DIY LED youtube videos. One of my friends has improvised it by using chappathi dough. #Don'tAskMeAboutTheSQ! or #TheTasteOfChappathi!

Cheers!

I am new convert to using connectors. The increased contact area with spades and even pressure applied results in better signal transfer and I can feel that the soundstage has improved. The trick is to get the right sized spades not oversized ones. I used solder types.

Oops .. this thread is about songs with great soundstage not spades with great soundstage ...

Ps: a small table vice is very cheap like 200 bucks at the local market.

Try soundtrack of :
1-Swadesh
2-Lagaan
3-Pukar (A.R.Rehman)
4-Zubeida (A.R.Rehman)

Awesome albums to test your Music set up..

Just upgraded my Onkyo satellites to Polk Audio Bookshelf speakers and they sound so nice.

I have the audio cd's of all the mentioned soundtrack albums. I used to listen them with the Onkyo satellites in stereo mode and they sounded great.
But since, I have purchased the new Polks, and gave in the first listen to these albums, and I was totally blown away. These albums sound as if they are being played live in front of you.

These albums are indeed great for soundstage and testing ones speakers.

After effects of twitter, I guess!

Parineeta and Barfi are two great ones as well. Beautiful music and recorded exceptionally well. In both these albums the silences in the songs are absolutely black.

 

[umapati]

Even Songs of the Movie "Queen (2014)" are awesome.."Harjaayian" is the most beautifully recorded song..

Yes most of the tracks of Indian Ocean are well recorded by Indian standard and gives a great sense of sound stage.

 

[vivek.saikia]

Check out the track "Cosmic Love" by Florence and the Machine -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfBY96qxVRQ

The song itself demands an extraterrestrial sound-stage.
