I always found imaging was more a function of the speakers
~~~~~~~~~~~~
WOW alot of posts up above i have yet to read.
But anyway, I agree here, speakers is the actual voice to the other components.
So the idea of
~3D~
I interpret as
Soundstage/width/depth, life like vocals. Muddy mids eliminated, not too *warm* which to me is distortion, likea layering effect.
The Gold Lion KT88's were too warm in my amp = less soundstage, or if you wish ~3D effect~.
The term in the old days as coined by Philips ~High Fidelity~.
Tag it anyway you wish.
I perfer the old standard termonolgy
~High Fidelity~
With the right speakers, all other components and the tewaks such as new botique caps, resistors, wiring/cables , can work in their effects on total sound.
If anyone says high end caps are just as good as low priced caps, is wrong. \
I've made this experiement and can assure you, higher end caps, make a nice nuance gain.
