How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?

Which is why, for me, the imaging thing is a parlor trick inside a parlor trick. The first parlor trick being stereo and the second being imaging. But more power to those that appreciate these effects. Were all paying good money and should get what makes us engage with the music.

The “parlor trick” is created by stereo microphone placement.

Thank GOD I have it all, even 4D!

Happy Listening

I don’t know if it is that important. I am one that wants to be moved by the music and not so much by the effects. But I do like accoustic music most and the real thing does have a harmonic envelope that includes sounds of the room. So if that is not out of balance I find it contributes to the music in my opinion.

There are no tricks involved with acoustic instruments when proper mic placement is used. I'm referring to all forms of classical and small jazz combos, even when the combo includes an electric guitar. A revealing system should reproduce a 3D image and depending on the recording, a holographic image is possible.

Listen to older well recorded rock music in which the band was recorded together in a studio. I can hear space between the musicians. Early Hendrix releases sound like the artists are playing together in the same room. There is 3D space with natural reverb and ambience around the drum kit. Not so for the remasters.
