back in the 80's i owned a carver preamp w/that sonic holography feature built in & used it all the time. i had the m4.0t amp at the time which emulated a tube amp supposedly. for it's time i thought it sounded great. carver used to sell an individual holography component (small black box that Zydo mentions above) that was installed inline somewhere - like a tube buffer i'm guessing? seek out that box if you can find it or just buy zydo's. just for grins i'd love to hear that setup again:)
Do I need BOTH amp and pre to be sonic holography?
I have Carver TFM 35 amp and C6 pre. I was considering replacing Carver pre with McIntosh C35 pre. Would I still have the sonic holography with just the Carver amp, and any thoughts as to whether this might be a worthwhile change/upgrade? (I'm not concerned with a tuner at this point.)
