What Does Holographic Sound Like?
Sabai,The only issue I have with your approach is you make it sound like foreever tweaking and adding stuff is a good strategy to follow. I am not so certain. It may work for you, but how is another to replicate your results with that approach? I ...

Look, if continuous tweaking is what floats one boat or keeps one of trouble, then by all means have at it and tweak away.I guess I'm more of a music person. The gear tweaks, etc. is just a means to an end for me. Once I am there I am done until s...

Starting out- a Beatles question
Murky and grey at best.USing the highest available resolution masters would be a start but that alone does not assure better sound in the end. At least there seems to be some attention to QA in the vinyl manufacturing process. That might at least ...

"There is a conspiracy in the industry to suppress tweaks, especially controversial ones. Didn't you get the memo?"Yes, it's called "natural selection".Although with the media, controversy can be a selling point, but one would hope integrity would...

Has anyone on Audiogon listen to Line Magnetic 755
Whatever they sound like I love the look and concept. Are they $8K each or per pair? 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
Newbee,Substitute "directional" for "dynamic" and I would agree with most of what you said.I am not sure directional speakers are necessarily easier to set up with adequate results than omnis. I think it depends. In smaller rooms with limited plac...
