holographic.....i would use this term to hear what i would truly classify only 2-3 times in my audio life.
it is waaayyyy more that just a good recording.
it is when the imaging illusion is so strong and believeable ( very high resolution) that the image takes on three dimensions:
1. height
2. width
3. body (density of the above, strong outline in 1,2, and depth)
4. Tonal colors
i would liken to looking into a room from the outside vs being inside the room itself ( most systems offer a view "into" the recording
another way to describe it would be- it sounds like you are literally at the recording venue or the recording venue is in your room.
most systems (including yours truly ) have 1 & 2 above and only hint at tonal colors ( ie that offer a view into the recording)
getting body with tonal colors is very difficult and very difficult with digital based sources and solid state equipment
this is the area where "good" tube gear and analog smoke "excellent " solid state and digital gear.
hope that helps!!!
