| What Does Holographic Sound Like? "Listening to music has now become a science project with experiments. This thread has become a parody of a satire."Listening to music does not require a science project. But I would argue that getting the sound one wants out of a stereo system (v... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? I would very much like to hear the harmonizer in my system. I expect it could well have a positive effect in that it seems to based on scientific principles I can understand. Sound travels through air. Physical properties of air determine how it t... | |
| Vendors Who Post Bottom line, in general, respect and integrity are the keys. Respect is earned usually. Integrity is established over time. Forums provide the means but there are risks. Censorship is bad. Antisocial behaviors should not be tolerated in a social m... | |
