What Does Holographic Sound Like?

And how do you get there? This is an interesting question. I have finally arrived at a very satisfying level of holography in my system. But it has taken a lot of time, effort and money to get there. I wish there had been a faster, easier and less expensive way to get there. But I never found one.

Can you get to a high level of holography in your system with one pair of interconnects and one pair of speaker wires? I don't believe so. I run cables in series. I never found one pair of interconnects and speaker wires that would achieve what has taken a heck of a lot of wires and "tweaks" to achieve. Let alone all the power cords that I run in series. Although I have found one special cable that has enabled the system to reach a very high level of holography -- HiDiamond -- I still need to run cables in series for the sound to be at its holographic best.

There are many levels of holography. Each level is built incrementally with the addition of one more wire and one more "tweak". I have a lot of wires and "tweaks" in my system. Each cable and each "tweak" has added another level to the holography. Just when I thought things could not get any better -- which has happened many times -- the addition of one more cable or "tweak" enabled the system to reach a higher level yet.

Will one "loom" do the job. I never found that special "loom". To achieve the best effects I have combined cables from Synergistic Research, Bybee, ASI Liveline, Cardas, Supra and HiDiamond -- with "tweaks" too numerous to mention but featuring Bybee products and a variety of other products, many of which have the word "quantum" in their description.

The effort to arrive at this point with my system has been two-fold. Firstly, finding the right cables and "tweaks" for the system. Secondly, finding where to place them in the system for the best effects -- a process of trial and error. A lot of cables and "tweaks" had to be sold off in the process. I put "tweaks" in quotation marks because the best "tweaks" in my system have had as profound effect as the components on the sound. The same for the best of the cables, as well. For me, cables and "tweaks" are components.

Have I finally "arrived"? I have just about arrived at the best level that I can expect within my budget -- there are a couple of items on the way. In any case, I assume there are many levels beyond what my system has arrived at. But since I'll never get there I am sitting back and enjoying the music in the blissful recognition that I don't know what I am missing.

I should mention that there are many elements that are as important as holography for the sound to be satisfying, IMO. They include detail, transparency, coherence, tonality, and dynamics, among others. My system has all of these elements in good measure.

Have you had success with holographic sound in your system? If so, how did you get there?

Mapman,
You stated, "Geof can taunt all he wants." The only problem is a what point the moderator steps in and makes the call "inappropriate and inflammatory". So far, the moderator is giving him a lot of slack in this regard.

Mapman,
I may understand in a general way what they are saying but I am not a quantum physicist. The highly technical explanations do not prevent me from trying out their products and enjoying the benefits of products that I do not understand. This also goes for Synergistic Research and many other companies. If you can figure out what some of them are saying you may win an award. But not understanding everything does not deter me at all.

Mapman,
You stated, "I'd rather spend my time and money trying something for a reason other than because someone else said to or that it is good." I am the exact opposite. I try things because others say they are good. The only thing that matters to me are results, not explanations. There is no more powerful reason for me to try a product than strong testimonials.

Csmgolf,
I have never experienced any negative effects with Bybee products in my system.

Onhwy61,
Taunting is what Geoffkait does best here, as we all observe by the way he personalizes his responses. Which is why I have pointed out that he is not in the same league as Robert Neill of Worldwide Wholesales (HiDiamonnd Cables), Bobby Palkovic of Merlin Music and Ted Denney of Synergistic Research who are gentlemen on these forums.

Geoffkait cannot even answer the simple question, "And how many Bybee products did you say you have in your system?"

Note to self. Since the moderator continues to allow Geoffkait's inappropriate posts the best thing is just to ignore him.

Only when someone personalizes his post. What's good for the goose...
If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

I already answered your silly question. Why are you so hung up on Bybee?

"Note to self. Since the moderator continues to allow Geoffkait's inappropriate posts the best thing is just to ignore him."

Apparently you are unable to ignore me, judging from your last 30 posts on this thread and others. Apparently you are also hung up on me. Maybe you can complain to Mommy.

Geoffkait,
Saying that you are not in the league of gentlemen vendors like Robert Neill, Bobby Palkovic and Ted Denney is not a taunt. It is obvious. It is stated as a fact that we observe as you continue to post here. In French this is called "une constatation" -- an observation of fact.

On the contrary, it looks like you must be hung up on some posters with your obvious need to post "inappropriate and inflammatory" posts on an ongoing basis. These kinds of posts are often flagged by the moderator and dropped. In your case, they are giving you slack -- for whatever reason.

From reading this thread, there do not appear to be many posters who relish your puerile attitude. And this is also not a taunt. It is a fact that can be observed by the way many posters feel about your participation here. Your latest post is one of many that exhibit this attitude on your part.

This is a lamentable situation that your posts are attracting such a negative response from other posters. It is not lamentable for me because I am only one of many people who post, buy and sell on Audiogon. It is lamentable for you as a vendor to be cultivating this sort of reputation -- and apparently with relish. This is a very odd way to run a business. IMO. I don't believe Robert Neill, Bobby Palkovic or Ted Denney would have much of a business left if they conducted themselves in like manner here.

Sabai, your continued cheap personal attacks are duly noted. If you have nothing further to say regarding Holographic Sound, and apparently you don't, I suggest you start a new thread. You can call it, Why I object to Geoffkait or Why I think Geoffkait is not a Gentleman or whatever you want. Frankly, I couldn't care less what you think, about me personally or audio.
