Holographic imaging

It is a fact that some people hear pitch better than others, but from what you are saying, none of this has any bearing on your 'phenomena'.

Yes but it is also a fact that we ALL hear pitch or frequencies more accurately than just about anything else (in the midrange of course)

We are sensitive to amplitude with a threshold of about 10%.

We are sensitive to pitch (frequency) at a threshold of about 0.2%.

Fortunately most equipment (other than a TT or analog tape) is always way way more accurate than 0.2% in frequency.

It has occured to me, however, that doppler effects coud be a real problem for those who like to listen to music on a high speed unicycle, which probably explains why NO clowns can be audiophiles even if audiophiles can sometimes be clowns...like me ;-)

>>I would challenge any of you to defend in theory and in measurement what you judge to be a superior amp<<

Au contraire.

"We" have nothing to defend.

It's you that's been doing all the talking.

"How do you correct and compensate for something that you can not measure????? It would seem to me that a circuit smart enough to compensate for these so call velocity, I mean "Doppler Effect" errors would need some sort of a "sense" circuit with predefined threshold triggers....."

Bingo!

Rebi is right. I went from a McIntosh 7270 amp hooked to a Carver C-1 Preamp with the hologram generator built in. I also had a graphic eq, parametric eq, spatial enhancer, dbx range expander, bbe sonic max, and other signal processors. I sold everything and now have a Cary V12R amp hooked to a Cary SLP98P preamp. I bought a used Carver C-9 generator last week because it was the only thing I really missed after going to tubes. You have to set the speakers up correctly, but to me the sound is addicting after hearing it.

The only additional processing I use these days is DBX for dynamic range enhancement on oocasion. When I use it, I believe its generally due to dynamic range deficiencies in the recording compared to live sound rather than anything missing with my equipment.

I also added a tube DAC recently and would agree that it does add to the system's natural "holography".
