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?

Geoffkait,
I have no idea where you come up with all this. Don't be intentionally cryptic -- something you cultivate with relish to further your agenda on these forums. Say what you mean. Who said what component did what?

Geoffkait,
This is not an "old law of physics" nor is it an "argument". The laws of physics are immutable physical laws -- not "old" laws of physics that no longer apply and may be broken by anyone at will. They cannot be defied or "broken" by anyone making a bold verbal declaration -- and most certainly not by anyone with an active imagination and an obvious commercial agenda. This is not an "argument". It is a fact.

With all due respect, you talk about an amazing product -- SteinMusic Harmonizers -- as though it were ipso facto to be disbelieved and as though it were only supported by "naysayers" and as though it were defying the laws of physics. Your logic is completely inverted -- and cunning. I note that you couch your remarks in the phrase "your ... device". This is not my device. This is Mr. Stein's device.

I reiterate: members who try to use the forums as a nettle under the skin, as you do, and to promote their own commercial agenda, as you do, should use the advertising option provided by Audiogon. To my ears your posts always have that self-serving ring to them with the red warning light flashing. I have never seen your products appear beside serious audio tweaks in any system of merit. Nor have I seen them lauded by anyone but you. Until such time as this changes you will always be considered a most marginal participant in the audio world -- an opportunist using the forums to try to attract the attention of those who may be susceptible.

Sabai, you have completely avoided the discussion and while I can appreciate your angst and frustration with respect to the subject of holographic sound and in particular the very expensive devices like the SteinMusic Harmonizer and the Schumann Frequency Generator that you own (yes, I know - they're not YOURS, they are someone else's! LOL ) you do not OWN the subject of holographic sound nor are you the final arbiter of holographic sound or the Laws of Science you apparently wish to be.

Happy Valentines Day. We do all love one another, here.
Very nice thread Sabai!!

Geoffkait,
I note how you have deftly glided by the content of my posts -- creating a tangent of "angst and frustration" of your own conjuring. How clever.

I reiterate: merchants like yourself who wish to trawl the forums for commercial purposes should use the advertising services available at Audiogon.
