I enjoy the music on West of 5th as well and think the clarity of the tone of the instruments is excellent.I do have one question/concern however regarding the imaging produced from the "single point microphone". On track 3 for example the basic soundstage on the 2 channel SACD layer consist of the piano just left of center and the bass to the right. The percussion seems to be spread out over the entire soundstage with the ride cymbal to the far left and the drums just right of center. If Chesky’s approach is to create a realistic soundstage I don’t understand this as I’ve never heard anything live where different parts of the drum kit show up on opposite sides of the piano! Maybe I am missing something. Your thoughts?
