Getting suspicious are we?
In electronic circuit analysis, they frequently refer to the “real†and “imaginary†components of a signal.
While the words mean different things here, the hifi market also has plenty of “real†and “imaginary†things too.
These imaginary tweaks work (when it does), by mental suggestion and desire, like the other “tweaks†that don’t actually change anything electrical or acoustical.
Best,
Tom
