I took some stereo enhancers once. They worked pretty well.

The literature said that if you maintained a stereo image for more than 4 hours to go to your doctor. Fortunately I went back to mono after a couple of hours.

I believe pluggo jr (free)
might include the stereo enhancer and stereo faker plugin but I'm
not sure.
Free though..so it couldn't hurt to try.

How you enhance your stereo fields depends very much on what kind of monitors you have to begin with and more importantly what they are resting on - low lying clay or upland chalk etc However, it is standard practice to spread nitrogen pellets, fertiliser and of course good old fashioned 'muck' (cow ••••) on your stereo field to improve the fertility of the top soil. Turning the soil by plough also helps to add air to the mix and laying down proper drainage can help to prevent a muddy low end. Incidently, keeping sheep in the studio is also a good way of making use of an otherwise 'poor grass supply' - although this can make the mix a bit wooley ..... shall I stop? Yes, I think that's enough for now

That was quite beautiful..

I've found Altiverb 5's predelay settings (with 'verb tails off) have helped-- aside from important monitor placement and materials.

Not everyone has A5, but similar tweaking could be done with almost any good reverb's predelay settings or tweaking a very small room setting. Just be careful not to send your signals out of phase.
