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.

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 ...

 

 

 

A good friend who is also a discerning Audiophile told me this.

He purchased 12 Holostages because he had 60 days to return them. He was positioning them around his room but he was frustrated because, although he could already tell that their effect would be transformational, the 12th Holostage was nowhere to be found and without it he he could not achieve the ultimate four-dimensional-like balance he desired.

So he decided to run to Fred Meyer to get some dinner. For those of you who live in different parts of the world, Fred Meyer is a regional supermarket chain we have around here.

Police was playing on the store speakers as usual. But this time, Sting sounded... exceptional, the best my friend had ever heard him. His voice sounded good, he said, imagine that! And the bass was amazingly deep and tight, as if the big freezers in the frozen aisle softly pulsated with enveloping bass whose inky depths were so sweet my friend forgot all about the cat food. But salmon fillets were on sale for 99 cents a pound, so he got that, and it seemed to him that was a really a good price.

The lady at the fish counter sounded like Diana Krall! My friend was enthralled by her mellifluous tones! He was in a great mood now, so he got a big flat of filet mignon for $3, figuring he would freeze it.

At the checkout he reached for his billfold, and - there was the missing Holostage! It had been in his pocket this whole time!

Back home, he positioned his last Holostage thoughtfully on top of his amp, and that old Burmester suddenly sounded like brand new Rotels, no lie! He popped one of his favorite Toni Braxton CDs in his player and sat back, enjoying every instant of perfection.

As he pointed out, why not give Holostages a try since you have 60 days to return them? Chances are you'll want to keep them though, because honestly how many $3 flats of filet mignon does it take for those little gems to pay for themselves? Exactly. And let naysayers say nay.
