| Holographic imaging Tbg,Thank you for your detailed response. Seems, that you - like me -carry an idea, a "memory" if you like, in you what "real" music sounds like and use it as a benchmark in critical listening of your rig. The chance to get direct comparisons betw... | |
| Holographic imaging Bill,I'm bald, which now that you've said it, might interfere with the soundstage, sometimes even mimicking holography. What would you suggest? should I buy a wig? Worried and waiting for expert advice....... | |
| Holographic imaging Tbg,You write in your post:"I had excellent imaging and close to realism."Could you please expound what you mean by the term "realism".Are you reminded of what you remember to have heard on several occasions at live events with similar kinds of mu... | |
| Holographic imaging Only too true Cerrot. Luckily my stators are too heavy to be moved by housekeepers. Wished I had some, h.-keepers that is.(: | |
| QUAD TOE-IN So do I, FWIW | |
| Holographic imaging Yes, it is the recording, the rig, the room, the speakers, their placement, state of the power, even the weather and last not least our ears and what is between them. Which does what is devilishly difficult to pinpoint and the more experienced you... | |
| Holographic imaging Learsfool,stupid of me, I should have thought of adding horns to the list of speakers which do best in the fields which are being discussed here. Thanks for reminding us. Thanks also for pointing out once more the importance of the recording engin... | |
| Holographic imaging Newbee, Mapman,I do see your point. Sometimes it is better to have a pleasant hand- or earful, instead of hunting for an abstract principle. In fact I do appreciate the Penelopes, but I won't forget the Sophias either.Happy listening | |
| Holographic imaging Newbee,Isn't Sophia's house the house of wisdom? (; | |
| Holographic imaging Tvad,I certainly belong to the first group you have mentioned and although I enjoy music from whatever source and rig, I am after "the absolute sound" with an ear trained on live music from early childhood on. Hence what many here would call "good... | |
| Holographic imaging Mapman,Logic would dictate that the rendidion of "air" would depend on resolution and "transparency" and in fact, I think it does in the way these terms are generally used here.This is not what I mean however, so I'll try again:Strangely enough, t... | |
| Holographic imaging Ralph, in reading you post I suspect that I probably have used the expression "bloom" wrongly. I thought bloom would be the air you hear around instruments in real life. Possibly "air" would have been the better word instead of bloom, although the... | |
| Holographic imaging I thought that would come, but to what degree, that is the question....(: | |
| Holographic imaging Pubul57, I think that your observation holds good for most of our rigs, at least I made the same observation, when I had the chance to compare the WAVAC phono pre, which is tube with the Boulder 2008 phono pre, which is solid state. The Boulder th... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Shadorne,Interesting point you make about the masking effects in our hearing. I will only worry me, I suppose, when the masking effects our rigs have vis a vis the real thing will be no more. Doubt though, that this will ever happen.Great discussi... |
