I guess I'm not surprised that my attempt at initiating a discussion about stereo imaging and mixing has morphed into "I can hear the difference in hi-res files."

Now you can add "USB cables" to that too 😞

I'm comparing any venue of pretty much any size (other than very small), where no one really hears individual instruments on one side or the other, with the approach of mixing discrete channels to a sided dominance.

I guess that's similar to piano recordings, where piano spans from left to right. I also don't know why they do it like that.
