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.

There are more things in heaven and sonic than we know of. However, the description of the innards sounds a bit thin. I will be trying them out anyway since they are returnable.

As a maker and purveyor of orgonite since 2013 I know whereof stranger things can sometimes become advances in understanding. "Stretching It" is always worth a shot even if you are likely to be the recipient of ridicule. A lot of these outlandish sounding discoveries are a product of bravery and gall.

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.

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.
