Holographic imaging

Tvad,

How can you criticize someone for taking the fight against distortion to the next level?

I am not doing so.

I am questioning the explanation, since it cannot be verified.

To do so seems reasonable.

But, as I've stated before in this thread, the only thing that matters is how a component sounds to the user. Perhaps it'd be best to just sell the H-Cat without trying to attribute it's effectiveness to an unverifiable theory...

Am I to understand that these "microscopic" changes are inherent in all other amplifier technologies, including typical ss, tubes, switching and conversion (TacT) except the H-Cat? Am I to understand that the H-Cat can accurately correct the unmeasurable and furthermore do so on the fly? Am I also to understand that these "microscopic" changes might be variable depending on up stream components, and that these "microscopic" changes happening at various points in a circuit are either consitent in nature or that the knob on your gear allows (without any digital measurement or comparison) the user to either coordinate these "microscopic" changes and/or sum and correct the "microscopic" changes without any form of measurement?

Roger,

The reason you can’t see it with a THD analyzer is because it is way too subtle to show up. If somehow you alter the gain/velocity by a factor of 2:1 double the velocity! Then your 1khz signal will shift up to 2khz. A full octave away! That is represented by the spike you see on a spectrum analyzer at the 2khz mark. The length of time it spends at this accelerated velocity will determine the size of the spike.

Within the statement above occurs a contradiction. This one (the 3rd I have encountered since I began engaging in this conversation), has the spike "too subtle to show up" while in nearly the same breath is apparently visible at "the 2KHz mark". So which is it- really?

"Perhaps it'd be best to just sell the H-Cat without trying to attribute it's effectiveness to an unverifiable theory..."

Ignorance is bliss if it sounds good.

Unsound,

Bingo!

Yes - exactly.
