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?

Ralph, how very right you are! Most of us, who love music, would not be in this hobby, if this were not so. It is those moments of bliss, where you forget about your rig and get drawn into the music, which makes this all worth while!

I use to really get drawn into the music with my Thorens TT, NAD 3020, and JBL19s when I was in college...hmmm.

Back in those days, for me there were few choices and often you had to assemble them. I had my Dyna Audios and Health kits for many years.

There must have been a great deal of satisfaction of building your own amp, truly yours. I'd be afraid of starting a fire, but the idea has alot of appeal - talk about pride of ownership.
