I don't disagree, though having a solid performer sat between 2 Speakers isn't the same as the holographic walk aground soundstaging top flight, wide bandwidth transducers can produce.

Fair enough if that is the case, but it's not something that has suddenly happened. I just assumed my previous vinyl set ups were too low rent to show it up, now I've invested a reasonable amount in a decent analogue set up I expected a big leap in performance. That hasn't happened.
Main system : VPI Scout 1.1 / JMW 9T / 2M Black / Croft 25R+ / Croft 7 / Heco Celan GT 702
Second System : Goldring Lenco GL75 / AT95EX / Pioneer SX590 / Spendor SP2
Daft question - is everything in phase, SRA correct, antiskate spot on....

As far as I'm aware Adey, yes. I can check properly in the light tomorrow but there's not much to go wrong really, it's all straight forward stuff.
Hahaha - perfect vinyl playback is anything but simple and can at times take my breath away and at others make me wish I had a CD players consistency!
But as others have said there's something wrong if you're only getting a 2D sound - that isn't vinyl, even with a £25 cart.
Make sure you're phono leads aren't wired out of phase, or the cart is out of phase - check the cart isn't phase inverting, or your phono stage. An out of phase system normally presents a flat wall of sound - in my experience, others may think differently.
You could experiment and try inverting one channel at the cart tags, see how it sounds, then invert the other - it's easy to check. If that doesn't help repeat but inverting at the binding posts of a speaker (s) - if the cart end fixes it then the problem is with the front end. If it's fixed by inverting a speaker (s) then it's somewhere in the chain between TT and speakers.
Grrrr

What is your system, all of it please, room size etc too. Post some photos would be helpful too. Let's see if anything obvious jumps out as not being right.

Yes I agree with the brickwall filtering on CD but vinyl has a lump of rock tracking a physical groove and the limitations there are massive. All low frequency information on vinyl has to be cut in mono otherwise it cannot be tracked, all extreme stereo effects have to be closed in otherwise once again it cannot be tracked. That stylus is so restricted in its operation that it is never going to have the freedom of digital regardless of how expensive that cartridge was.
These limitations are physical and fixed. CD does not suffer the same kind of limitations even though it has its own set of limits.
