| Holographic imaging Newbee,My eyes tell me that I would also much prefer to see Penelope Cruz.Hopefully my eyes are not as deluded as many seem to think are my ears. | |
| is too large a room no good? Tonywinsc,I agree. Its nice to have a large and small room to provide different diametrically opposed listening experiences, if possible. | |
| Holographic imaging TBG,Agreed that there is a thrill to realism in an outstanding performance. | |
| Holographic imaging Newbee,I'm undetered because I've heard a lot of variations of very good live and reproduced sound over the years and know that there are many ways to skin a cat. We each make our own best informed choices. | |
| Holographic imaging Tvad,I'm probably more in the first camp in terms of how I set up my system, but the inherent flawed nature of many of the recorded musical performances that are my favorites forces me to be content in the second when needed. For example, I have n... | |
| Holographic imaging Tbg,Read the definition of holography and then listen to a pair of Ohms and then we can discuss whether or not it is holographic. | |
| Holographic imaging Actually, after reading the wiki definition of holography, it is probably a misnomer to call what the Carver circuit does "holography" because it only works when listening from on spot. You can't move around and get different perspectives.based on... | |
| Holographic imaging Dave,I'm not necessarily advocating Carver holography, although I think the processing it does makes sense, it works as advertised, take it or leave it, and the benefits can far exceed the disadvantages. In fact, I no longer use the circuit becaus... | |
| Holographic imaging Holography is a useful term for describing several attributes of good sound in audio together.Carver's holography is an explicitly identifiable (analog) signal processing algorithm implemented in Carver equipment. When engaged, it improves the siz... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Digital filtering is the digital audio equivalent of makeup I suppose.Tvad, admit it...you really like this thread, don't you? | |
| Holographic imaging "The more transparency you get, where SS excels, the less air seems to be possible around the instruments. "This is not consistent with my experience. I find "air" is more associated with transparency. It can happen with SS or tubes.Regarding bloo... | |
| Holographic imaging Atmasphere,My system is currently highly transparent and holographic, I would say. But I've thought about trying a tube pre-amp with my SS amp to get more of the sound of tube harmonics going, which I tend to like as well when I hear a good tube-a... | |
| Holographic imaging By the way, on eother negative about Carver holography, for those interested, is that you have to have the speakers set up just right and listen from just the right position to hear it. One of the reason I went with Ohm speakers is that I hated th... | |
| Holographic imaging Actually, I just read about the H-CAT approach. Seems like it requires careful "tuning" to provide the advertised benefit and that some have achieved "it" and some achieved something perhaps less desirable otherwise.Definitely a different approach... | |
| Holographic imaging I've been considering a tube pre as well but would prefer to stick to SS as well.What does H-CAT do that other SS pre-amps do not that makes it unique? |
