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.

My posts was aimed at those who insult someone who only describe and communicate his own experience with a "tweaks"... One bought or one homemade... Nevermind...

There are 2 errors in your post:

First i use the word "most" people not the expression "all people" ...

Second it is evident that people who had not bought the holostage or any other "tweaks" or never experimented  in mechanical,electrical and acoustical embeddings controls are the bulshitters especially if they use the word "bullshit" or any others insults ,  then not me nor those who sincerely only communicate their own experience without accusing others to be bullshitters as you just did.

Third i never spoke against people who had experiences themselves with a product here as some did.. You distorted my post and read it how it suit you...Then you call my post bullshit...

Buy a mirror in all due respect ...cool

 

 

With all due respect, that is a BS assumption, and appears to be as viewed through your own particular biased lens.

Most here are well aware you have combined low cost and/or older audio gear and by "tuning and properly embedding" your system you achieved sonic results that you believe far surpass what would be achieved by the same gear in a system that has not been properly "embedded." That is your viewpoint, but don’t assume that just because somebody else is skeptical of this ($1K/set of four) item, they don’t have experience tweaking, building, purchasing, and experimenting with their own systems.

And by the way if i read your sentence :

Most here are well aware you have combined low cost and/or older audio gear and by "tuning and properly embedding" your system you achieved sonic results that you believe far surpass what would be achieved by the same gear in a system that has not been properly "embedded."

The word "believe" here was used to put doubt on my own concrete experience. I dont believe in acoustics nor in mechanical control of vibrations, i use it.

Who bullshit who here?

As the OP, I’m happy for the many posters who have experienced these wonderful little boxes. I can understand if the changes or improvements are not to one’s liking, I get that. However, to devolve a constructive, informative conversation that began as a positive experience for numerous respected members is a shame. Why not challenge your skepticism by auditioning a set of Holostages for yourself instead of doubting others who have actually tried them and found them to be indispensable? Personally, I never comment on products I haven’t tried myself. Bravo Heartsound! You hit it out of the park with Holostages! I’m looking forward to spending more quality time with Krissy’s Ground Box Booster which compliments the performance of the Holos, as well as the Breaker Panel Box that will be arriving soon.

Whether “most” or “all” doesn’t change the intent of your post, and you yourself have not owned Holostages so what makes your opinion any more valid than other posters here - sheesh!

 

I never posted any comment here about holostage or those who use it..... I only observed that i was not surprised by the OP experience with holostage  because i know (i dont believe) how vibrations and resonance are detrimental ...Instead of accusing him of bullshitting i gave him credit because i know that his testimony is credible.

Some as you use negative words or sarcasms...

Once again then  you distorted my posts...

I just said that "tweaks" works in general and not in all case for sure, if by tweaks we refer to mechanical,electrical,acoustical embeddings controls. A person giving his opinion here about holostage must be respected..

As must be respected anyone speaking about "tweaks" here ...

Any sarcasm about tweaks most of the times reveal ignorance...

Some tweaks works for some , in specific conditions, for specific ears/brain, others do not in others conditions.. This dont means that there is no value for this "tweak"

It is difficult to understand ? cool

Instead of an argument you use the word "bullshit" in your post and you claimed to read my intention ...
