What Does Holographic Sound Like?
Orpheus10,You understand exactly what I'm talking about -- being able to reach out and touch vocalists and instrumentalists. It is that feeling of immediacy and aliveness that makes this unique. But you seem to have achieved this level of holograp...

I think I got it. You mean only one post at a time? I don't see any problem with more than one. 
Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong?
Tbg,I have so many cables that it is impossible to prevent them from touching. I do my best. Getting them off the static tile floor was the biggest challenge. The next challenge is to get them off one another.

Onhwy61,There are 3 interconnects plus a Bybee product and a Combax product. That makes 5 levels. There are 3 speaker cables plus two Bybee products and one Synergistic Research product. That makes six levels.

Almarg,This is an interesting observation about tube amps. I am thinking seriously about moving to a tube amp sometime in the future -- if and when I can afford it. 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
I should clarify that you are not lowering distortion by running cable in series, per se, unless you splice in special "tweaks" from Bybee, Combak, Oyaide, etc. This is what I have done all along the line -- two or three cables with "tweaks" splic...

Ebm,I agree, of course. It's very interesting because the common wisdom is that you buy a pair of interconnects and a pair of speaker cables, you connect your power conditioner and components with a single power cord, and away you go. The common w...

Mapman,This is the key, I believe. Distortion in the AC ruins the sound. With each incremental cleansing of the AC the CD can reveal more of what's there but is otherwise hidden. In my experience, you cannot clean the AC in one stage or even in a ...

Jeffreybowman2k,Sorry, I don't get it. 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
Jeffreybowman2k,There are no power strips in my system. Please see the posting in this thread with the details about how I run cables in series. 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
Akg_ca,Another way of looking at holography is to look it the same way we look other sonic parameters -- such as low level detail, for example. We would never say "we instantly know it" when it's there. There really is no "it". There are degrees o... 
Another Next Best Tweak
Hi Ozzy,I talked about using magnets in an earlier thread. I use them on my Synergistic Research MPCs with good effect. You can try them anywhere there are transformers in your system. 
Isolation Devices: Any Good Ones?
Theaudiotweak,You stated, "... materials that only lead to a dead end ...". It has also been proved scientifically that bees cannot fly. I'll take my dead-end system any day of the week over any other system I have ever heard. And I have heard som... 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
Akg_ca,You stated, "Happily, when that 3-D holographic soundstage is there, we all see it immediately; we instantly know it ..."Actually, with my approach you may discover there are many different levels of holographic sound. Higher levels can be ... 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
The problem with the plug-and-play approach -- one power cord at each stage, one set of interconnects, one pair of speaker wires -- is that this approach will only get you to an initial stage of of holography, at best -- even if you add special "e...
