Holographic imaging

Newbee,
Isn't Sophia's house the house of wisdom? (;

Detlof, Yes, perhaps, but to much truth isn't always a good thing! In this day & age, I'd much rather see her at a distance with her clothes on! When in Spain I keep looking for the street where Penelope Cruz lives. Now there is 'real' wisdom. :-)

Newbee,

My eyes tell me that I would also much prefer to see Penelope Cruz.

Hopefully my eyes are not as deluded as many seem to think are my ears.

Back to Dazzdax original inquiry, I suspect the tube-associated artifact in question is not holographic imaging and more likely what is commonly referred to as "bloom".

I don't think that holographic imaging is an artifact of tubes at all. Bloom often is. I would agree with Dave also regarding the relative sonic merits of bloom in general and how it becomes less of a distinguishing factor in better gear.

Newbee, Mapman,
I do see your point. Sometimes it is better to have a pleasant hand- or earful, instead of hunting for an abstract principle. In fact I do appreciate the Penelopes, but I won't forget the Sophias either.
Happy listening
