So you want to know if your gears produce good soundstage - then please get Psychic TV's song 'Always is always' from Dreams Less Sweet album.

If you have good gears, you will hear a priest walking in a nice circle around you. If gears (headphones, amp etc.) lacking, you will hear that priest walking behind you in somewhat straight line. If there is no luck at all, the priest will walk in your head from one ear to another.

Should be fun

My favorite soundstage test track is "Abstractions" by The Orb, on the Japanese edition of Bicycles and Tricycles. I've heard this song on a $50K Dynaudio Confidence/Mark Levinson setup, and it absolutely blew me away that a pair of speakers were able to make sounds seemingly come from everywhere.

just that track by PsiTV lets easy and fast to evaluate your gears' soundstage, theres just one voice; 10 seconds and you know. also suitable for comparisons, no need getting into account dozen of instruments.
