I bought a Carver's Sonic Hologram Generator for $50 played with it one week and sold it for $150

The used component was only $50, and looked like fun for experiments, so I bought it just for kicks.

The results were so variable from song to song that it proved to be a distraction.

I was too often listening to sound effects that ranged from amazing in the first few days, to distracting after that.

I prefer to listen to my music, not "the sound", which best fits the old definition of an audiophile: A person who loves to listen to recorded music.

The rich guy who bought the component paid me $150 that I advertised it for (I would have been thrilled to sell it for $100) and he did not even want me to demo it. Said he trusted me.

And I never missed it after that (probably the late 1980's?)

The explanation for its effect you posted sounds like baloney to me.
Of course I usually say that in response to your posts, just to annoy you. Doppler distortion has been the subject of at least one blind test published in Stereo Review or Audio magazine that I've read -- it was quite difficult to hear.

Buy it for $25 or $30 -- lots of fun for a while.
Get a Lava Lamp and smoke dope too.
