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

I’d rather devote all that time and effort listening for the musical message rather than the sonic message.

It's impossible for the "musician's message" to be revealed until all is made neutral and clarified; that encompasses all the improvements required to clearly reveal the musicians message; however, to do this requires "work".

rvpiano, I interpret your post as stating; "I would rather listen to what I got than work to make it better."

Geoffkait, if you read my posts, you will discover that it was "Serendipity" that ultimately got me where am; although I did have other forms of insulation bound in speaker cloth.

Since it was partially "luck" that got me where I am, I'm not an authority on how to get here (holography), but I can tell you how sweet it is once you have arrived.

Your post sounds very helpful to someone who is trying to achieve the benefits of holography.

Since "holography" is the last stage of development in the audio progression, there is a possibility that it's not relevant in your stage of progression.

Orpheus10,

You’re absolutely right. It’s a matter of priorities.
 Although you can’t  possibly understand it, it is not necessary for many of us to have a holographic presentation to get the most out of the music.
 When I was growing up, I got most of the extensive listening repertoire I now have through a table radio.  The genius of the music flowed through and inspired me.  I didn’t need to have pinpoint sonic accuracy to “get the message.”
 Striving for sonic perfection is putting the cart before the horse. The music comes FIRST.
Enjoy your hobby, but don’t try to convince us that the you can’t get a supreme aesthetic experience without holography.
