| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Charles1dad,You make a good point. There are many different destinations in this vast audio world. Not everyone has the same wants and needs. So, to quote someone famous, "different strokes for different folks".Mapman,With no Bybees and single cab... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Chadeffect,It looks like you have a lot of experience with quite a variety of "tweaks". In fact, I have tried many of the items you mention and still have some in my system. You hit the nail on the head when you stated "more quantum this or that."... | |
| Another Next Best Tweak Ozzy,I have tried neodymium magnets on all components that have a transformer -- on the outside of the chassis. The results have been uniformly good -- as well as on the MPCs. There are forums that talk about how people magnets in their systems. I... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? BryoncunninghamI enjoy tweaking immensely but it is not just an on-again off-again thing with me. It is in the deliberate pursuit of a better sound system -- a much better sound system. When I find something that works I am delighted. When I find ... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Charles1dad,"Trimming and re-potting"? Sorry to disillusion so many people on this thread but high end audio is not a potted plant. To become so simplistic is to miss the point entirely. Simplicity for its own sake can be cutting off your nose to ... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Chadeffect,You stated, "I wonder how many life times it would take to experience every possibility?" Who's talking about "every possibility"? Did I say that? If you read my post again you will see that I did not. I said "other possibilities". Plea... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Chadeffect,You stated, "Simplicity in my experience is the only way to get true organic and holographic sound." You don't seem to be leaving the door open to other possibilities that you have not yet experienced. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Geoffkait,I have never heard an MBL system that sounded irritating. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Douglas_schroeder,I choose my reference CDs carefully for the complexity of ambient cues. Here are four of my favorite reference CDs. The Oscar Peterson recording is a live recording that is full of subtle ambient cues. The Johnny Rivers recording... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Douglas_schroeder,I beg to differ. If there were a loss in detail with any item added to my system, that item would not be in my system. If the use of series cabling and "tweaks" were detracting from the sound I would have abandoned this approach ... | |
| An audiophile dilemma Douglas_schroeder,I could not agree more with your comments about investing in "the hobby". | |
| Starting out- a Beatles question I picked up the Japanese Parlophone remastered box set from the dhgate.com site for less than $100. They are the best Beatles remasters I have heard, much better than the Capitol remasters in my system. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Mapman,As I mentioned in an earlier post, when I visit Singapore I make a point of taking my reference CDs to the MBL showroom at the Adelphi 1 Audio Mall. They are very friendly and never rush me. The imaging and holography of my system consisten... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Orpheus10,You asked, "How do you do that?" regarding hearing holographic sound outside the sweet spot. This seems to be a function of the amazing imaging that my system has. Once the voices and instruments have their own positions on the sound sta... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Mapman,You stated, "Tweaks are what they are...tweaks." All tweaks are not created equal. If you had the pleasure of having Bybee "tweaks" in your system I think you would agree. |
