"Do you feel as if you could walk over and touch a particular instrument?"Let me get this straight. In an auditorium, complete with reflections, and a stage full of live instruments, you would be able to walk up blindfolded and zero in on a specific instrument?
I think in certain circumstances that you could get close. But with a stereo recording you should be able to do the same. The depth of the soundstage is one that I don't get. If I were to close my eyes sitting in front of an orchestra, I don't think I could tell whether or not the drums were in the front or rear of the other instruments.
