| 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? | |
| Good speakers at low volume? You're not allowed to say the words "loudness button" on THIS site.Seriously, if you have one, obviously, try it, it might work.Otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to get one. They are usually not very flexible. Some units, like older Yamaha uni... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Tvad,On a serious note, I have read where HDTV created a serious problem for Hollywood in that it was increasingly difficult for otherwise attractive stars to look good in high definition. The solution: more makeup (analog, not digital make-up I b... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Tvad,Its only been going on for 2 and a half years and hundreds of posts. You'd think with all the collective brainpower thrown at it that the winner would be clear by now. The resolution (no pun intended) must be close at hand.Then we can talk ab... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? "Producing music by interpolation of 1's and 0's is not a perfect thing. Winding a diamond stylus mechanically along a soft groove is not a perfect system either."That is for sure and a big part of why the two sound inherently different.By the way... | |
| Farewell Rick Wright of Pink Floyd Wright's vocal and keyboard performance in the Floyd classic "Echoes" is one of my all time favorites.Offer him a tribute and enjoy a treat for yourself...see him in his prime on the DVD "Live In Pompeii"! | |
| Farewell Rick Wright of Pink Floyd He left a fine musical legacy and seemed like a nice gentleman from what I could see.....he will be missed! | |
| Holographic imaging Tbg,You indicate you've heard MBL. Have you ever heard Ohm or German Physiks?I understand and appreciate that you do not lean towards the omni sound from ehat you have heard. Personally I have heard Ohms only and like the wide range, wide/omni dis... | |
| Holographic imaging "You mention that ohms sound is disassociated with the speakers. That I believe is quite true but not real."I'm saying it is "holographic" only in accordance with my understanding of the term.I'd like to hear the sound quality on the holo deck of ... |
