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

I’m wondering how many A’goners consider a holographic image a must for them to enjoy their systems?  Also, how many achieve this effect on a majority of recordings?
Is good soundstaging enough, or must a three dimensional image be attained in all cases.  Indeed, is it possible to always achieve it?

Hi Orpheus10

You’re more than welcome to hang out with us on TuneLand. But it also may be important for you to be here. It may feel like your beating your head against the wall with some of these folks but I can tell you, there are people reading who either have or are also approaching that "real size" "real space" soundstage. As you know once you hear it the hobby changes for us, forever. 95% of the people who do find it usually don’t stay in the same hobby as you read here. It’s like one by one and then they retire to their music heaven. And it should be that way.

The thing that keeps me sane here is, when I am done here I have a list of listening friends to help or listen with. If I were an Agon lifer you'd find me sitting staring out a window somewhere.

I agree. This recently happened for me. There is no going back.

Michael, I'm not very far away from "My musical heaven", and once I get there, I don't think I'll have much time left to post here or anywhere else.

Yep, you start looking at all those recordings that you get to rediscover. I'm very happy for you guys!!!

I think it would be helpful if those who have created this optimum imaging in their own home (called holographic) would list the recordings they have heard which can reveal this imaging. FWIW, I think there are not so many, but it would be fun, for me at least, to have some recordings so I could play them on my system and see how far I have progressed in setting up my system, which images quite well, but not yet perfectly, I think.
