Holy Holostages!!

Having been a beta tester for Heartsound Audio (Krissy) for the last few years, I had the the chance to audition many prototypes of the Holostages and some other products. I concur with jmfinney's description of the effect the Holostages have on music presentation. Also, see gladmo's review of them under "member's reviews".. I've gone through numerous tweaks over the past 40 years and the latest version of the Holostages nailed it.                                                                                                     I found by experimenting that placement of these products is critical and it takes a few days for their full effect to emerge. . Also, using too many of them can be unpleasant and harsh after extended listening. I understand the naysayers here when it comes to tweaks,. I used to be one myself. A 60 day return policy is generous and risk free if you enjoy tweaking your sound like I do. I also enjoy tube and capacitor rolling, It's all fun. Good listening. Jeff

Re: "Crystals"

Crystals don’t just affect electronics - they can become transmitters of vibrations (waves) that interact with brains. They can be "go-betweens" so to speak with the components of any environment, so they are potentially transmitting influences not just to our "ears" but also to our bodies in toto. Of course, our bodies are composed of crystals as well.

An interesting experiment: recline on a bed holding a crystal in each hand (preferably reasonably clear crystals with no or few fractures." Bend your arms so that each crystal is raised off the bed with your elbows still resting on the bed.. Then, looking down the axis of your reclining body play your eyes on one crystal at a time and do so in a back and forth manner so that the contrast in what you feel in either hand is heightened by the abrupt changes in gaze.. This can be a very surprising discovery and clues you in to the amount of energy that comes from our eyes and the amount of energy that crystals can transduce.

cue…crystal clear persuasion….. 

I have used a lot of Krissy’s products throughout the years. Always a great bang for the buck investment.  They have a way of making your system sound richer and more coherent with no downside. Same goes for the holostages.  You can certainly make fun of the people that use them and their claims.  I know one thing- Kristy is no scam artist and is one of the nicest people in this industry. She is relentless worker who is always trying to improve her product. She is always accessible . Call her and she’ll advise want you may need for your system. Some people hear no difference between a lamp cord and $30,000 speaker cables. So be it. I hear  what I hear. Her products make a very nice improvement in my system for a bargain price. With a 60 day trial I don’t see the risk. She is an honest person and has been doing this a long time. My guess is you’ll be pleasantly surprised

I have been reading around about these "stages." I have to say that the verbiage reminds me very much of that explaining orgonite. These stages sound like they are filled with graphene powder doped orgonite. The graphene increases electrical conductivity. Orgonite pucks contain a crystal in their core which is surrounded by a mixture of polyester resin and aluminum or other metal flakes. When the polyester resin cures and shrinks further pressure is placed on the crystal which heightens its piezoelectric sensitivity.

As a maker of orgonite my entire house if filled with various orgonite objects. I have been swimming in the field for years but never paid much attention to its potential effects on acoustics. However, orgonite very distinctly affects the body and mind, so that could be the avenue of activity. Primarily orgonite converts EMF's into something the body can handle with more ease. For electro-sensitive people being in its presence and handling it can bring great relief. There are perhaps some dots to be connected here.
