In Reply to: Hologram Generators, tube distortion generators, high capacitance cables, groove echo posted by AJinFLA on July 22, 2008 at 03:53:24:
sonic holography, eq, and so on are processes that can be turned on or off as desired, unlike, say, the tube-amp, or cable, flavor-flavor-of-the-month that audiophiles get stuck with.
I find nothing at all wrong with wanting to flavor your music to your taste...I just find that doing it with eq and processors that can be turned off, and that are reasonably priced (for good pro stuff) beats the hell out of using flavored preamps and cables for enormous amounts of cash.
