Holographic imaging


Hi folks, is the so called holographic imaging with many tube amplifiers an artifact? With solid state one only hears "holographic imaging" if that is in the recording, but with many tube amps you can hear it all the time. So solid state fails in this department? Or are those tube amps not telling the truth?

Oh go ahead.

A fool never learns.
Roger,
Maybe I gave you too much credit in saying that you had implemented a Multi-Tap Processor circuit in your products.

Your theories, analogies and explanations have left me wondering what your academic credentials are.

I believe that Norm possesses a minor in Physics and how a person like that, trained in logical and scientific thinking can swallow your convoluted and non-factual theories and descriptions is beyond me.

It also leads me to wonder what you actually pot in those encapsulated modules?????????

Has a CAT preamp with the latest "Doppler Detectors" and "Velocity Correction" circuits been submitted to Stereophile for review? I really would like to see John Atkinson's measurements on this unit.

I'm curious to see if the "WTC" control actually does anything or like some claim "it does nothing at all". BUT I will not be dropping any of my money on your products after the ABSURD stands you have taken and the way you have presented your theory, logic and their lack of scientific basis in the exchanges here.

I almost feel bad for your customers who have dropped their money on your product only to read the quality, validity and lack of foundation of your responses here. Most of us want to substatiate the quality of our components on more solid grounds than just faith alone. A designer should be able to address his design and design choices or say nothing at all if he wishes. It is one thing to be vague but what you have done on this thread is something else!

If I were you, I would stop now, as with each of the exchanges here you lose more and more credibility!
Tbg.A long time ago I told a friend not to argue with someone who wont listen.Today I will heed my own advice.
I must say that you continually change or do not understand the words of others.This may be the result of to much Doppler.
Will the Hcat be at RMAF? Would be nice to hear it and we could meet an argue there.
Carlos269, one of my undergraduate majors was Physics, but my Ph.D. is in political science.

I would urge you to listen to the H-Cat if you have a chance and would welcome you were you to come by.

Roger is very sincere guy and has come about a circuit that works, although it has been evolving the last six years. Although I have known Roger since the early 70s, it was only about six years ago that I learned he was back in audio. I agreed to give a listen to his new line stage. I was impressed and bought it. Relative to the unit I have today, it could not compete although it got TAS' Golden Ear award. There was an amp even then but only a very few were made. A production version of an exceptional amp is only recently available. If the line stage is very, very good, the amp is unbelievable and renders the goal of his electronics, a holographic sound stage.

Over the years Roger has repeatedly attempted to tell me how this was accomplished. Since the product sounded so good, I put little stake in my understanding about what was going on. Remember that Roger's innovation is his claim to fame. He does want to answer question, but not to divulge proprietary information.

I had an early linestage with no WTC, but although I wish it were automatic like self-focusing cameras, I cannot live without what I get when it is on the money, especially now that I have the amp. This experience is why I initially posted here and only to suggest that people give a listen to H-Cat.

I have no investment in his company nor have I ever profited from selling either the line stage or the amp, although I think I strongly influenced many to buy one.

H-Cat is not a scam, although I do know of people who did not like it or perhaps who would not deal with the WTC or Roger's suggestions about grounding only the line stage.

Publul57, it maybe that Lotus Group will have the P-12R X7 line stage. The local dealer who did demonstrations last year is now in China, I think.

Goldeneraguy, I suggest that you have chosen a correct path.
