RE: Nice response!

I wouldn't have used the word "unstable" but I had no trouble figuring out the meaning. I took it to mean that a small change in input leads to a large change in output. This is a metaphor, since we are talking about perceived sound quality, rather than a physical object (such as a pencil balanced on its point).

Incidentally, unstable imaging in my experience is more a matter of poor system setup and voicing, rather than lack of resolution, especially resolution that is lost because of noise floor. Four track pre-recorded tapes had poor noise performance (tape hiss) but these recordings imaged well provided they didn't have tape saturation distortion. In no sense could this medium be called "high resolution" even though it was much more pleasant to listen to than early CD.
