for me soundstaging less so than that the other aspects of a decent stereo system.
If I was REALLY crazy about soundstaging there would be no need to go beyond
a decent pair of headphones.

I would say that earphones do not give you any kind of realistic sound stage

...I don't get much soundstaging or imaging with my phones.
It all seems to come from inside my head.
Same for me. I spend quite a bit time listening to two different sets of Shure IEMs while mowing the yard, running or traveling. I enjoy the music, but I find that the perspective is never really right using standard recordings. Binaural ones (of which I have none) may be a different story.
1. Closely miked mult-track recordings give me the perspective of getting in a singer's face or putting my head inside a snare drum. Waaay too up close and personal!
2. Distant and minimally miked recordings sound peculiar because the recorded space of the venue is there but delivered in a miniaturized, unnatural way.
I'll take a nicely treated room with speakers capable of delivering depth any day. And not necessarily in a laser focused "pinpoint" fashion as you find with some speakers, but one that can convey a true sense of space.
