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?

The thing about those early recordings that no one mentions is that they were recorded WITHOUT Dolby. They also used tubes, not transistors.
I believe the implementation of Dolby was a definite factor in the deterioration of sound from the mid sixties on.

Most of us realize the "relativity" of all the elements being discussed.
I got exactly the opposite impression after following some of the threads.

Oregon, I saw this on "youtube" and I thought I would post it. I always buy records new, hate any kind of scratches; I will find his music on amazon; thank you.

Thanks for the link, orpheus10 ...

For anyone interested, go to 10:05 on the Youtube video that orpheus10 provided for us. Simply amazing guitar work.

It was for good reason that John Steinbeck called Manitas de Plata "A great and savage artist."
