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?

Yes the ear/brain system is highly sophisticated, but it is believable and to a large extent its characteristics are understandable. I highly recommend Jens Blauert's text, "Spatial Hearing: The Psychophysics of Human Sound Localization".

RP again: "IOW if you can feed your brain the raw data at Mach One – the listener will have the same acoustic sensation as someone who was actually present during the initial recording."

I am unaware of any sound system which transmits through air that is capable of feeding your brain raw data at any speed other than Mach One.

At this point, I am also unaware of any scientific evidence for the problems you claim to be solving.

It is starting to look like you have created imaginary problems so that you can come to our rescue with imaginary solutions.

I wonder if others that have auditioned or own a H-cat agree with the statements by Roger.
Also Tbg please re-read Atmasphere and Detlof's last posts cause you just didn't get it.
Or is it that you didn't want to.
Solution to this never ending debate is to send some demo units to select few volunteers and have them report back? I suggest few qualified individuals- like Atmasphere (Ralph can do even some tests) Detlof, Duke, ??

Just trying to help.
Guys,

This had started out as a pretty interesting discussion on, what was it, Holographic Imaging. I thought it was pretty interesting until it turned into a sort of flame for all. I keep away from the other forums due to all the attacking, flaming, etc. I had always thought audiogon was above that.
