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?

I'm sorry guys, once more, here another example of a (German) high-end manufacturer of tube electronics who refers to 3D imaging as a quality factor.

Quote: The EK***SE is a true class A line stage pre-amp. Designed for the audiophiles who want pure analog with the highest quality sound available, without the price of one.
The quality of sound is a dream come true, with a true 3 dimensional sound. Where the depth of instruments and their location, the warmth and transparency puts you in a world where only few have been. You will discover that your music has details that were held back and now are being revealed.

It is striking that many manufacturers of tube electronics use this 3D "quality" to underscore the stregth of their products. Question: is referring to 3D quality in fact a marketing trick?
