Holy Holostages!!


Full disclosure, I'm a tweaker. I've tried many different products that claim to improve the sound quality of your setup or tame the acoustics in your room. They have been carefully selected, all have a generous return policy. For example, LessLoss products have excellent price to performance numbers. F

Their Power Base & Speaker Base will blow your mind & their Firewalls for Loudspeakers move the needle considerably toward achieving an immersive, natural & relaxed stereo image. Synergistic Research's FEQ Carbon + 3 Carbon ATM's achieves a similar sonic effect by taking a different electronic approach. 
 

This brings me to HeartSound Audio's Holostages. Have you ever wondered what it feels like to go swimming in your music? Well, that's exactly what Holostages do for your listening environment by eliminating even the most stubborn acoustic anomalies in your room. You are now in the middle of the performance that wraps around you entirely as it draws you closer & closer resulting in a dreamy sounding. How can these inconspicuous passive little black boxes have such a profound effect you ask? I don't have that answer except to say, they do!

Since Holos are so portable, it's easy to tune the room more to your liking. If you find the soundstage is too wide, tall or immersive & you prefer a more intimate club setting, the placement of another Holo or 2 closer to speakers or components can alter the image more to your liking. I have 1 on top of each Floorstander also. There is 1 Holo on top of both rear surround speakers. 1 set of 4 Holos will be plenty. As for the 2nd set of 4 Holos, I am experimenting with optimal locations.
 

Finally, the fact that I can easily hear the benefits of Holostages over the already effective LessLoss & SR acoustical treatments speaks a lot about what this product is capable of. Holostages are future proof & can enhance the sound of any 2ch stereo system. They really are that good!

These are only my initial impressions of the HoloStages after 36hrs of listening. And to the skeptics, don't knock 'em if you haven't tried 'em. However, I already know how your experience will turn out. 

More later on the addition of 2nd set of Holostages.

Vibrations controls can be done in many ways...It is a trade-off set of experiments. I did it at no cost...It is based on elementary knowledge or experiments ( nano crystals, shungite, and many materials or devices as springs etc ).

Some buy gear with no experiments and change the gear by frustration or unsatisfaction.

Others buy basic good gear for their specific needs and makes extensive experiments to improve it... At the end no need for further upgrade race, nevermind your specific budget, this experiments principle rules at all audio design levels... ... I did it...

 

Maybe the sanest way to process this is to look at it as performance art. In 2013, artist Pyotr Pavlensky famously nailed his testicles to the ground in Red Square to protest increased authoritarianism in Russia. Paying $999 for 4 little plastic pucks is undeniably less painful, but where is the political value? Exactly. You get what you pay for 😂🤣

In acoustics the sentence " you get what you pay for " has no conceptual  meaning....

We buy what our budget makes us able to afford... One this is done  the real work, the real learning begin : experiments  at the lowest costs...
