| Holographic Soundstage ? You just described my experience with the Carver C9 perfectly (except for the part about finding a rare recording where it does not sound good; havent found that yet), all the way down to owning a backup. I own 2 backups for the same reason. me ma... | |
| Home Theater Bypass , why am I hearing this now. How is treating an AV receiver as a separate input (through HTBP) in a pre amp and a streamer in input 2 of a pre-amp NOT separation.

| Looking for my Final Pair!! As far as a live concert in a large hall. I think it could be argued that the live concert is not actually "live" ..... huh. Guitars, drums, vocals, keyboards, all hooked up to mics and speakers. Even in a live concert you are listening to 100% sp... | |
