Parasound Halo 2 review question.

Hola, JA.

I've been through the Parasound Halo 2 review a couple of times, and wanted to ask a "woody" question.

Do you think there is an 'objective' measurement on this piece that would correlate well with its superior soundstaging?

I tried thinking about channel seperation, but most preamps have better channel seperation 'skills' than almost all recordings do.

I was taken by your comment that even mono recordings had more space, which would also argue against channel seperation being responsible for its superior performance.
