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?

Interesting.

Most of us built Heath kits.

To each his own.

Do you think that with vinyl there is a higher palpability factor and also better rendering of depth (and therefore better "holographic" imaging)?

Norm,
(:Please forgive me, I could not resist the temptation. (:
Chris,
Not necessarily, I've found. But if you mean by palpability something closer to what could be called "natural", then yes, I would agree.

Not in my experience when using very good digital equipment; however, at the lower end of the price scale, say under #1000 per component, then analog tends to trump digital in almost every respect.
