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?

Newbee,

I'm undetered because I've heard a lot of variations of very good live and reproduced sound over the years and know that there are many ways to skin a cat. We each make our own best informed choices.
Mapman, I agree that we make our own choices based on what we hear. I get no holographic presentation from omni directional speakers but do with my LaCampanellas and the H-Cat electronics. I suspect that all of us are interested in the music, but there is a thrill to realism in an outstanding performance, that I have always sought, but again some may not seek this. Need there be further discussion?
TBG,

Agreed that there is a thrill to realism in an outstanding performance.
IMHO,holography expands the image.Omni's no not image therefore cannot be holographic.quoting from reviews, dictionaries or from the bible does not prove anything.
As Tvad stated,the enjoyment of what you are hearing is the only thing that is important
