Which CD's for Imaging/Soundstage?


Which CD would you use to check the imaging and soundstage of the speakers/system.

I found these to be very good examples

Branford Marsalis - Trio Jeepy
Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
Cassandra Wilson - New Moon Daughter
Suzanne Vega - Particularly Tom's Diner
Zakir Hussain, John McLaughlin, Jan Garberak - Making Music
Strunz and Farah - Primal Magic

I've been listening to some of the new SACD remasters of the Dylan catalog. The soudstage/imaging is exceptional! As for redbook CDs, there are are few that come to mind:

Eva Cassidy "Live at Blues Alley"
Tierney Sutton "Unsung Heroes"
Hank Mobley "Soul Station" [most of my jazz is on LP, not CD, so I can't comment about other jazz CDs]
Quadophile.... yes, the remastered hybrid "Blood on the Tracks" is great!!! So is "Oh Mercy." "Blonde on Blonde" doesn't sound as good as the others, but still better than the original CD release.
