About Me
My reason for interest in this site comes from a long standing love for Carver (and related) equipment, especially the Sonic Holography effect. I seem to be quite sensitive to it - even poorly set up and way off axis, it just seems to take a room from being flat, front-only sound to filling the room for me. I had the chance, back in the very early days of Carver (just post Phase Linear) to hear the SH demonstrated and was hooked. Unfortunately, I was never able to actually indulge and acquire any Carver equipment, until recently - as people divested their 2-way systems for 5.1+ surround sound, I was able to pick up a C-9 that recently made it into operation. All I can say is "Yes! There's that sound I've been hearing in my head for decades, and it's mine at last!"
Music wise, I tend very much towards Progressive Rock, but that's not exclusive. And yes, I'm a dinosaur - 2-way, systems - I do have a surround, but that's not for music - just TV (yawn). I have a decent collection of (dusty) vinyl, and a decent collection of CDs, which I prefer (both for sound and convenience).
Beyond that I'm very boring, low key, and prefer to stick to the background, which I will likely do, here, for the most part. Sleep is a highly overrated luxury that I can't afford enough of, so it is often a rare commodity at best.
Now, stop reading this and go listen to some good music!!!
If you are so bored that you made it this far, the "Dark Alliance" refers to my pride of 3 black cats, so you can put away the holy water and pitchforks. The minions of the underworld already rejected my application.
