FS: Carver C-9 Sonic Hologram Generator $40
For Sale: Carver C-9 Sonic Hologram Generator: $40 shipped in US
Unit is in excellent electronic and cosmetic condition. The Carver sonic hologram generator is a method of freeing music from the spatial constraints of the listening room and the loudspeakers. It creates a believable sonic illusion allowing the listener to pinpoint the locations of instruments and performers even if they seem to come from a space beyond the rooms walls. It is a 3-dimensional sonic representation that gives "substance" to performers by describing them more fully. This unit provides the spatial effect of opening up your listening environment. It seems like your room has expanded and you are in the center of the action. The front control buttons include: injection ratio, normal/theoretical, listening aperture-narrow/wide, sonic hologram/engage. In the rear it has rca stereo input/output. Please respond to idealaw at concentric dot net |

Mr. McCarty is infringing on the intellectual property and trademarks of Orion Bluebooks, Inc. He is not authorized to represent Orion in any capacity. I picked up some new information about McCarty, in particular, his connection with a noted "boiler room", ie., a high pressure outfit that sells fraudulent securities. Below are some interesting links to Benson-Miller-Dupont and the Thai investment fraud scene. Continuing McCarty's habitual prevarication, "Carole Ahern" (see below) does not exist. McCarty dredged up the story of the backpacker from an old news article about Benson-Miller. In fact, there's no evidence that McCarty ever raised a dime. We note the following from Brian L. McCarty's scam website, http://www.worldjazz.com : "OVER THE TOP" COMMISSION PAYOUTS PAID WEEKLY! Last week supplementary payout to Carole Ahern, a backpacker working in our Bangkok Office. Carole placed 842,400 shares last week and gets a US$2000 bonus! Congrats Carole! ASIAN REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE: BENSON MILLER DUPONT INC. CP TOWER - 33 SALOM ROAD BANGKOK 10500 THAILAND" But Benson-Miller-Dupont is a boiler room scam operation nailed three years ago: http://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/...x_sheridan.htm "Meanwhile, in July 2001, Thai police, Australian federal police and an FBI legal adviser raided the offices of Benson Dupont Capital Management and the Brinton Group in Silom Road in the business district of Bangkok. The companies were accused of defrauding Australian citizens out of A$200 million under a range of different names and with different products." "In their offices police found scripts that the salesmen followed. These showed that the callers were expected to call from Tokyo to give their deals more business credibility. Tokyo fact sheets were also found, indicating that callers would chat to clients about the city as if they really lived there." Benson-Miller is also listed on http://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/...erseas_ops.htm So what's the point, Brian? We know you haven't raised any money. Isn't it about time to give up, have a good cry, and admit the obvious? Your "worldjazz" scam is dead. Now, after the failure of his two great scams, Coral Sea Studios and WorldJAZZ.CON, Brian may very well spend the rest of his life scooping ice cream in Cairns, Australia. My condolences to Brian, Bob Morein Chairman, WorldJAZZ Visit http://www.worldjazz.tv today! His website has become increasingly a joke, but you can't use too many nails, so here goes again: Brian, we understand that you are a pariah. Definition: a pariah is an outcast. You are someone so odious, you have no friends. Not even Jeff Wexler is your friend anymore. He may be polite to you, but behind your back, he hates you for the embarassment you have caused. So we understand, this is why you hate humanity. People who hate humanity are EVIL. You, Brian L. McCarty, are EVIL Brian L. McCarty = EVIL. But we have made you pay a price. We stopped the WorldJAZZ fraud cold. Brian continues to ramp up the fake number of subscribers -- momentum is key to an investment scam. Currently, the number stands at 70% subscribed. What will he do when he reaches 100% ? Wrap it around to zero? Start a new IPO? Recruit new fake people? You're sooo entertaining, Brian, as you continue to lather on the malarkey. I love this line: "OTC PINK SHEET LISTING CONFIRMED" There's just one problem: You don't have a symbol. and this one: "SEE YOUR PHONEBANK MANAGER FOR SPECIAL "OVER THE TOP" COMMISSION PAYOUTS PAID WEEKLY" If you ever do get serious, Brian, we'll bust your ass. Stay tuned for the amusing antics of Brian L. McCarty, the world's most inept scammer. Bob Morein Chairman , WorldJAZZ.tv Visit http://www.worldjazz.tv today! Brian L. McCarty has established yet another front in his endless quest to defraud investors with http://www.worldjazz.com In case you are not familiar with this deception, various outfits around Asia will provide you with a prestigious address and a maildrop, for a very small monthly fee. This allows Brian to have the appearance of a worldwide presence, even though he's actually confined to one substandard condo at 65 Vasey Esplanade, Trinity Beach, Cairns, Australia. Brian's new "virtual office" is: ASIAN REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE: BENSON MILLER DUPONT INC. CP TOWER - 33 SALOM ROAD BANGKOK 10500 THAILAND The death of WorldJAZZ.com... The latest news is for the umteenth time, Brian L. McCarty has changed the details of his TOTALLY FALSE web registration. He has (temporarily) put his faithful sockpuppet "David Ellison" into storage, and replaced it with "Huang, Ying Hong" Registrant: NetSol Private Registration (WORLDJAZZ-DOM) 35/F Lee Gardens 33 Hysan Avenue Causeway Bay, HK 4103 HK Domain Name: WORLDJAZZ.COM Administrative Contact, Technical Contact: Huang, Ying Hong (37361476P) Sunny Web Services H.K. Ltd. Black Tauna 11/F Block 5 China HK City Tsimshatsui, Kowloon HK +852 28886123 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have informed me that no documents have ever been filed for WorldJAZZ. With his WorldJAZZ scam in the spotlight, Brian L. McCarty is attempting to avoid public embarassment by bringing it to a close as quickly as possible. In recent days, he's been racheting up the subscription numbers; "70% SUBSCRIBED AS OF MARCH 5th, 2004" This, of course, is a complete lie. McCarty is running a big risk here. If he allows the scam to go on too long, the regulatory authorities might catch him. If he folds tomorrow, he'll know (as if we don't) that he's nothing more than a bad joke. But he can't allow his detractors to turn him into Jay Leno material, so he will quickly finish the "subscription". In recent days, McCarty has added two fictitious people to his website: 1. " Ron Groove Davis", who McCarty originally created as "Wes Groove Davis" 2. "Alexei Afonin" (notelephonin) ? These are added to "Krishna Mahbren", who was created from a living person, Krishna Mahadoo. In the meantime, it has been verified that McCarty has an extremely bad reputation in Cairns, where local businessmen regard him with suspicion. Communication continues on this subject. Brian L. McCarty is currently attempting investment fraud. McCarty is an American citizen, living as an expatriate in Australia. Please read below for the details. The website is remarkable in that it does not contain a single truthful statement. It changes constantly. Always prominent are nonexistent people as frontmen, and affiliation with nonexistent events. Previous versions have also featured fictional alliances with large companies, and with nonexistent companies. From time to time, McCarty also steals the names of actual people to decorate his websites. For example, in the case of http://www.coralseastudios.com , my name, Robert Morein, was once featured as an "endorsement." From the current version of the website: IPO ALLOCATIONS NOW UNDERWAY U.S. BASED BROKERS: SEC FORM 6 - FAX TO: (270) 812-2208 (phone # to small town in Kentucky has no geographic local in U.S.) INTERNATIONAL BROKER/DEALERS: SEC FORM 6 (or equivalent) FAX TO: +852 3015-2696 (PLEASE DON'T FORGET INT'L SEC APPROVAL NUMBER!!)

KRISHNA MAHBREN Named as CEO of WorldJAZZ (nonexistent person) RON "GROOVE" DAVIS (EX-BET/JAZZ) OPERATIONS MANAGER (nonexistent person) MOSCOW CENTRAL TV: Jazz programming to be supplied by WorldJAZZ to Moscow Central Television beginning 2004 WorldJAZZ /Moscow representative Alexei Afonin. (nonexistent association) TOP FOUR U.S. CABLE TV COMPANIES: Negotiations for carriage rights currently underway with channel allocations TBA. (bull****) SATELLITE PANAMSAT transponder space to be confirmed shortly (not true) EVENT SPONSORSHIP: WorldJAZZ has been named OFFICIAL CO-SPONSOR of the 2004 Jersey Jazz Bass Festival (second year running!) (nonexistent event) Live broadcast planned September 22-25, 2004. Brian L. McCarty lives at 65 Vasey Esplanade, Trinity Beach, Cairns, Queensland, Australia. His current website, http://www.worldjazz.com, is a farrago of lies, fictitious front people, and nonexistent associations. Speculation as to why McCarty viciously attacks individuals who at the worst, might have slight irregularities in business registrations, revolves around his suddenly leaving the United States in the late 1990's. One rumor has it that McCarty was about to be charged with a sex crime, and that he avoided prosecution by leaving. It is possible McCarty paid off the victim's family. Once in Australia, McCarty founded Coral Seas Studios, which quickly became financially insolvent. Perhaps the major backer, ABN Amro, already detected anomalies in McCarty's personality. Following that business failure, which became a minor issue in the reelection of P.M. John Howard, McCarty concentrated on funding a second initiative, "WorldJAZZ", a scheme for Internet broadcasting. But with his reputation damaged and cut off from legitmate business activity, McCarty's predatory tendency came more to the fore. His website became ever more devious in an attempt to lure investors. In 2003, notices appeared in several online publications that McCarty was producing jazz broadcast material for Gene Parrish (http://www.worldwidejazz.com ) Notices appeared in a publication of the Embassy of France, and in one other publication. Mr. Parrish is a noted NPR jazz broadcast host. When contacted, it was apparent that Parrish had never heard of McCarty. While I cannot prove that McCarty posted these bogus notices, he certainly had the motive to do so. Following the exposure of the false producing notices, McCarty's name completely vanished from the Internet. He resorted entirely to false identities to create business partners who do not exist. As of 1/14/03, a quick glance at http://www.worldjazz.com, discloses the following: (Note: the following actually applies to the version of the website prior to 1/20/04, but it is relevant nevertheless: 1. Clicking on the banner "WorldJAZZ" produces an unresolved link to K1 Ventures, the largest venture capital company in Singapore. In discussion with that company's secretary, she disavowed any connection between them and McCarty, and was shocked at his implication that they were involved. 2. "Dr. Krishna Mahbren" is derived from a real person, Krishna Mahadoo, V.P. of Beverly Hills Film Studios, a pink-sheet stock. McCarty cruises the Internet for companies that don't answer the phone. McCarty made Mahadoo an employee of that company's stock transfer agent, First American Stock Transfer of Phoenix. When I pointed this out in a usenet post and notified Mr. Mahdoo by mail, McCarty changed the company to "First American Stock of Denver." Then he changed Mahadoo to Mahbren, and tacked on a "Dr." to the phony name. 3. The claim that Moscow Central TV is to use material supplied by WorldJAZZ is doubtful, as they were notified by mail. This claim has been made for the better part of a year. When the date expires, McCarty simply creates a new one. 4. "Event Sponsorship 2nd Year Running". This event does not exist. There is no "Jersey Jazz Bass Festival." Previously, the website has exhibited a link to the Island of Jersey in the English Channel. This locale has a surf fishing festival, the Jersey Bass festival. There is no music festival. In the past, association was advertised with "jazz musician" Peter Thliveros, who is, in fact, a professional bass fisherman, not a musician. 5. The website is registered to "David Ellison", a fictitious person. In the past, many different fictitious persons have been used, in conjunction with yahoo mailboxes. Among McCarty's aliases, we have: Krishna Mahadoo, Anthony Ramallo, David Ellison, David C.L. Feng, Ying Hong Huang, Lee Hodges, Lee Moretti, Melinda Hsu, Melinda Shu, Robert Morein, Robert X Morein, Sylvan Morein, Sylvan X Morein, et al. 6. The website morphs constantly. McCarty combs the Internet for identities to steal. He chooses victims who do not represent themselves on the Web, and are not easily reached by phone. 7. McCarty's other website, http://www.coralseastudios.com, has a similar history. In the past, McCarty has actually used MY name as an endorsement, apparently as a taunt, even though it makes extremely bad business sense. Fortunately, Coral Seas went belly up, although the website lives on as a zombie. The obvious question is, if McCarty is so anxious to scam, why does he make a constant racket under easily detectable fictitious names? It appears that part of McCarty's mental illness is a distortion of reality. McCarty has an obsession with the formal aspects of registering a business. To him, the "in print" appearance is all that counts. It doesn't occur that people can detect the reality that lies beyond. To McCarty fictitious names and posting aliases are a real shield, just like a cat will crawl into a shopping bag to hide. McCarty had an early scheme for Internet radio. He claims to have sold musical performance properties and/or a business plan to Black Entertainment Television for $9.2M. Subsequently, he left Los Angeles. One unsubstantiated rumor is that he left to avoid prosecution for a sex crime, presumably by paying off the victim or family. Once in Australia, he made the acquaintance of the brother of P.M. John Howard, who introduced him to contacts at ABN Amro, an investment banking firm. They created a business plan for some kind of a sound studio, still represented by the website http://www.coralseastudios.com. After approximately a year, ABN withdrew from partnership, but left the studio project still solvent. Some time later, it went bankrupt or nearly so, owing $270,000 to it's employees. At this point, Australia's entitlement law kicked in, paying the employees monies owed them, with the exception of codirectors McCarty and Jeff Wexler. It would appear that McCarty's enterprises failed because he has some kind of mental imbalance, which exhibits signs of both schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The impersonations which he makes of me are a fraction of the numerous identities which he has used in the past, and continues to use, on occasion, in the present. McCarty may actually believe he is the person who he impersonates. Many of the identities are of elaborate construction, taking some six months or more to take shape. McCarty seems to have a magical belief that use of false identities provides a shield. But why would McCarty want to escape his own identity so badly? Speculation centers around the possibility that he did something not socially acceptable in Los Angeles. |

It's a piece of audio crap that distorts the signal into mush.
You have obviously never heard one, Charlie. When I reviewed the Sonic Hologram Generator almost 20 years ago, I played some of my own master tapes through it, and discovered that what came out was much closer to what I heard standing at the microphone. That is, the spatiality was significantly more-accurately rendered. I bought a used one a few years ago and occasionally use it in my Krell-Apogee system, mostly to enhance recordings that sound fairly natural to begin with. (Which is very, very few.) It most assuredly does _not_ muck up the sound. The SHG's effect is wholly dependent on the recording. But it's worth owning for occasional use with recordings that benefit from it. |

It's a piece of audio crap that distorts the signal into mush.
You have obviously never heard one, Charlie. When I reviewed the Sonic Hologram Generator almost 20 years ago, I played some of my own master tapes through it, and discovered that what came out was much closer to what I heard standing at the microphone. That is, the spatiality was significantly more-accurately rendered.

Value = $0 RIPOFF ALERT! Sorry to disagree wth you but I've had my C-9 unit since 1988 and once you get your speakers set up properly according to instructions it works fairly well. I can definitely tell a difference between the unit being on and then off. My problem is that my room isn't perfect to get full benefit of the unit. But I can say that it definitely adds a sense of 3D to the music. Best, Mark Allen Zimmerman * Chicago |
