Has anyone listened to a Carver C-1 Sonic Holography preamp with SDAs?

    You do NOT want to combine the two technologies. ;)

    Treitz3 is correct. SH is good on non SDA speakers. SDA speakers win hands down when compared to SH.

    I love how music can brighten up a bad day.

    actually, the Carver C-1 implementation of Sonic Holography was terrible. there was all sorts of sonic artifacts. The standalone C-9 Sonic Holographic Generator was designed to eliminate the sonic artifacts which the C-1 exhibited. Used in a good system, it actually is a good performer.

    I have the sonic holography feature on my C-16 preamp - I leave it off. It's not a good combo with SDA speakers.

    I figured as much. I saw one at a neighbors yard sale and passed on it. Just curious.
