Since you asked, yes...!

I just got my C-1 BillD (with Gundry) from DaddyJT. Nice work! All works great. I have 4000 CDs and 1000 LPs and am just starting to enjoy SH again. It's been 12 years. It took a while, but I got it working nicely. The speakers are about five feet in front of me, and about 24 inches apart, a lot like the set up in the C1 manual and in the liner notes for the Sonic Holography set up CD. I have some high-efficiency JBLs with a subwoofer and a reworked M500t. The CD indicates that my set up is working properly. So, far, these CDs have some very nice width and depth: King Crimson - Red/Steven Wilson remix ("Starless" is very wide indeed) Soft Machine - Fifth Miles - Jack Johnson complete More as I find them....I would appreciate other ideas as Brian suggests, above.

Several months later than your post, the answer is yes. I downloaded a flac copy from HDTracks.com.

Silly question time - was there ever a "normal" CD release of this, or was it all just the "special" package with the screen, etc.?

Gave this album a good listen with SH engaged last night...Wow! Great album, really gives the system a good run. SH felt very immersive for just a 2.1 setup!

Came across this today! https://www.stuff.tv/features/52-essential-albums-audiophiles

Thanks John, I'm hoping to get some stereo time tonight or tomorrow.

@PhilDent, if you haven't already done it, download the PDF I loaded with the liner notes from the SH CD. You'll note that the speakers can be quite close to you and not too far apart to experience it. Good luck, and let me know if you want a copy of the set-up CD. John

The individual tracks are here. Hopefully I can get the links right. http://thecarversite.com/yetanotherforum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4569#post4569 The thread I found things in is: I owe a big Thank You to the folks on that thread and to whomever put up the links to the tracks.

Interesting - I didn't have much chance to listen to samples, and not with SH but it bears more listening. DaddyJT, You suggested a list to highlight albums that really stood out for production/recording qualities. Can I suggest we create a list of Standout Recordings, and come up with some semi standard reasons: Production/Recording qualities Sonic Hologram superstar Underrated recording My names are not great, and we need some more categories, but hopefully it gets the idea across. it gets the idea across. Maybe make the entries so that each original stands out so people will be able to add their comments like here, but it's easy to find the suggested albums and why they are special? Tag, you're it!

So it wasn't just me. Her voice really bumped me. Sounds like she is singing in baby talk. It made me immediately think Christine Blasey Ford was singing. I thought, well, we all knew she would get a book deal and give speeches for exorbitant fees, but damn did she get a record deal too? Other than that, the album is very enjoyable. I haven't tried the SH. In my experience I've not noticed the SH effect. Are you guys moving your speakers as recommended by the C1 manual?

Streaming it now...................... Oh, Bluesound Node2 - Sanskrit Gen6 DAC - BillD C1 - Hashy TFM-45 - RodtheMod ALS Silvers. Great air and space Mark!

I just picked up four albums from the Sinatra MOFI boxed set, and the SH effect on his voice is very pronounced. I'm not certain if I like it yet or not, as I can't pinpoint where he is in the image. The SH adds a depth that almost sounds like he's singing in a cave without the harsh echoes. The effect is the same on all the albums I've listened to so far. Sinatra Sings of love and things A Swingin' Affair Where Are You? Look To Your Heart

Noted. Thanks for the feedback.

I'll be honest, I wasn't impressed. I like Angus' voice, but Julia's vocals are grating. I much prefer Kacey Musgraves and her husband, Ruston Kelly.

The Gundry mod makes a vast difference in SH. WOW! That is the most dramatic effect of SH that I've heard yet. The soundstage expanded beyond the walls. As you, I rarely listen with SH engaged, and I found the effect marginal without the Gundry mod, but on a few recordings with the Gundry mod... Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms Doobie Brothers - What Were Once Vices... Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue Santana - Caravanserai, Abraxas There was another that escapes me now that was very enjoyable. I'll have to listen to some smooth jazz, country, and classical with SH engaged.

Agreed LT - I love the 105! I will get an audio room eventually. First was the bathroom, now working on a room for my son. Audio room is next after that:-) Amen to that. My Achilles heel is jazz - I have a small collection of some very highly regarded recordings, but I never find myself going to them when I listen. As you said, not my type of music...?

A blonde teenager, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer, decided to hire herself out as a "handy-woman" She started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do. "Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," he said, "How much will you charge me?" Delighted, the girl quickly responded, "How about $50?" The man agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything she would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation said to her husband, "Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?" He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?" The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes we've been getting by email lately." Later that day, the blonde teenager came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" the startled husband asked. "Yes, she replied, and I even had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50.00 and handed it to her along with a $10.00 tip. “And, by the way," the teenager added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus."
