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?

Unsound, Tvad,

You’re right the concert hall was not meant to imply a change in perspective by switching seats. Just that it was convenient to illustrate changes in distance from the sound object and how it does impact the pitch as your movement occurs. And yes it would be below the threshold of human perception to actually hear a change in pitch as you are walking from front to back or vice versa. But the principal still applies. The 3 locations, front row, 10th row and 20th row represent relative settings in gain which if you were to “jump” between them would in fact throw off the perceived pitch.

Atmasphere,

Thank you for your response. The speed of the amplifier you refer to (slew rate) only addresses the “vertical” speed of the amplifier circuit. What I am referring to with velocity is the lateral or horizontal speed of the circuit. IOW my interest is in the manner that a given input signal travels from input to output and more importantly is it (the velocity) constant.

Regards,

Roger
Grant,

I can tell you from personal experience patents are a very expensive proposition. Once you have obtained a patent and its published it is open for all to see. A 20 percent change in the original design is often all that is nessasary to get around the original design. If you have the bucks to litigate well then you may have a chance. If you don't, then think twice about doing so. Electronic circuits sometimes are potted with material that disguise whats in side. If you remove the potting material you may destroy the design underneath. I suppose you could always x-ray the underneath. Also in prototype developement when the product is tested or any pre release publicity is issued describing the product in drawing or photos you have one year from the first disclosure date to file for patent protection.

Sorry I jumped in line here. Like I said this was my own personal experience. I did speak to Roger about a year ago, about the Doppler effect. I have never heard his products anywhere anytime. I hope too encounter them at some time. I had to recently reconsider this whole patent process again, its costs and its benefits. Further enhancements to your existing patent requires more disclosure and more money. So Grant when I saw your question of Roger I was relating my own recent re experience. Tom
