Holographic imaging

Doppler effect??! I would think that if there is any doppler effect in the recording, you would certainly **not** want to compensate for it. Otherwise you would not be playing it back right :)

I get the feeling that a lot of these holography systems that have appeared over the years are aimed at those who have a lack of resolution in their systems- and can stand listening to an effect, rather than the music.

Sorry for the criticism, but I've always felt bad for people who've laid out the cash over the years for such things. IMO/IME the best performance in the audio system will be when there are as few processors/audio building blocks between the recording microphones and the playback speakers as possible.

I don't know for sure whether the H Cat does what it claims or not since I've never heard.

But my understanding from their web site is that they sold early models of a device that requires adjustment to work right without any way to perform the needed adjustment.

Oops????

Amazing that an ego attached to a design such as the original H-Cat would attest to a possible flaw and then decide to publish a fix. I think thats great! Live and learn and learn a whole lot more. So many designers and manufacturers never fess up to their mis calculations in design or production. I think this is a progressive reality of the ongoing design process and not a flaw but a tribute to the designer/builder. Tom

Theaudiotweak,

I agree with the merits of fessing up to a mistake, but given the apparent severity in this particular case, what other option is there?

At least it sounds like it has a chance to work now if adjusted properly.

I guess the only way to know would be to listen and compare.

Still not sure though how this is better in practice than negative feedback? Sounds like a tricky proposition to get right, certainly harder than providing an adjustment.

Need to give it some more thought.....

Take your time. Don't be an AudioDweeb like some others here.

The 8th or 9th revision should be ready if you wait a bit.

Personally I'm waiting for the Century (100th revision) Edition.
