You don’t need to spend $140k to achieve a holographic experience. And you don’t need a Dr. Choueri BACCH filters system. I am a big fan of a holographic experience. A previous version of my system created a wide, high sound stage with clear, localized instruments but it all occurred in front of me. My current system now has clear, localized instruments that can occur beside me and sometimes behind me while the vocals occur in the center about 6 feet in front of me. This might be awful for some people. To me, it’s heaven. The effect depends on the producer’s vision, of course. If you want to check how immersive the sound is on your system, play Coda by Ryoji Ikeda. It’s a kind of boring song but it starts by playing two bells. The 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc bells plays directly to my right. If I turn my head 90 degrees, I’d be staring at the apparent source of the sound. Coherence, clarity, timbre, and so many other things are responsible for making a compelling experience. But too much holography? For some, sure.
Can a system sound too Holographic?
Hi friends :)
So I got a question for those interested. For me, having a 2 channel system with a Holographic soundstage is very desirable.
I bring this up because I had lent some Centerstage 2 footers ( isolation devices) to a friend to try out. To make a long story short, he likes what they are doing under his Lumin T3, however he mentioned that it might be "Too Holographic". I don't know about you guys and gals, but that wouldn't really be a problem for me. Your thoughts or experiences please. Anyone experience a soundstage that was too Holographic?
