How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?

Thank GOD I have it all, even 4D!

Happy Listening

I don’t know if it is that important. I am one that wants to be moved by the music and not so much by the effects. But I do like accoustic music most and the real thing does have a harmonic envelope that includes sounds of the room. So if that is not out of balance I find it contributes to the music in my opinion.

There are no tricks involved with acoustic instruments when proper mic placement is used. I'm referring to all forms of classical and small jazz combos, even when the combo includes an electric guitar. A revealing system should reproduce a 3D image and depending on the recording, a holographic image is possible.

Listen to older well recorded rock music in which the band was recorded together in a studio. I can hear space between the musicians. Early Hendrix releases sound like the artists are playing together in the same room. There is 3D space with natural reverb and ambience around the drum kit. Not so for the remasters.

With the best mono’s, the sound is expansive and fills the space between the speakers completely. Granted, there’s nothing outside the speakers, but there’s a certain "rightness" or "correctness" garnered from mono recordings that’s really hard to get from stereo records. Personally, I like both.

Oregonpapa.

With mono classical I agree the music sounds correct. It’s like sitting mid-hall and the orchestra is accurately positioned on stage.
Once again, it means the mic placement was done well.

newbee,

Have you considered changing your name? After over 4000 posts, it is slightly outdated. Nothing to do with the thread topic, but I just noticed.
