glupson your startin’ to sound like me about no knock warrants and vice cops.
Compare the two, lets go after the HUGE problem and understand EVERYONE can have a fuc%up opinion. The funny part, MC pushes the button and is in pure monitor mode.. LOL He get’s to rent a LOT of space in peoples heads at NO CHARGE.. LOL Pretty good at it too..
I admire the guy.. sure gets you going from time to time..
At Least CHARGE for the space.. LOL
Now don’t get all mad. Though it is a bit of a chuckle..;-)
I'm claimin' the Irish defense, "I wadnt' der dat day Fader, I swear on me modders grave"

Folks you have come to the right place to find your pandemic experts. They also have golden ears. Some may come off as a bit arrogant but so what? When your hot your hot. |
perkri358 posts04-21-2021 10:49amQuestion to the CV19 naysayers, do you actually believe what you are writing, or are you spewing this to get a rise out of people?
Unfortunately pekri, they are completely serious. It is a problem of extremity. Being skeptical is good. Usually that is a very good quality. However, in some, that skepticism is very selective, and very extreme. Perhaps selective skepticism is not even the right designation. Would it be selectively skeptical to not doubt audio tweak claims, or is it because you have extreme skepticism about anything claimed by relevantly knowledgeable people. I believe it may be the latter. I guess that is still selective skepticism, but perhaps it is really about total avoidance of anything that can be designated as authority, even when that "authority", which is only informational, is acting in your best interests. Psychologically I think it is all a manifestation of insecurity. If you are insecure, you may not be able to admit, even to yourself, that someone, no matter their level of expertise, knows more than you, even though, for most of us, we realize that is the case on almost everything. That does not mean you don't question "experts" as they often step out of their actual expertise and make gross generalizations. We all remember "experts" telling us masks won't help, even when every available piece of evidence said they may. Problem was, those experts were not experts in the actual mechanics of transfer of similar diseases, and the claims were based on established facts, ignoring similar, but as of yet unproven in this case, facts. What they did was equivalent to a smoker saying I have never got cancer from smoking before, so I won't in the future. When you need to feed that insecurity, you will grasp onto anything that supports that goal. Masks is another good example. Virus is <0.3uM, N95 masks only claim to be 95% effective with particles at 0.3uM. No where in that statement does it claim that particles <0.3um cannot be stopped, but if you need to feed an insecurity, that will be what you grasp onto. [Due to electrostatic attraction, many N95 masks are more effective at 0.1uM than they are at 0.3uM]. |
"Other posters responding to MC’s remarks. Just ignore him. Pay no attention, it eventually goes away." It is true that millercarbon has an excuse. He speaks from inexperience. While other radiology technicians were risking their lives to help other people, he was hiding in his listening room trying new tweaks. His biggest published (here) achievement of 2020 was to courageously suspend speaker cables on rubber bands from the parsley bunches. (
Millercarbon's System - Virtual Systems (audiogon.com) middle picture, third row from the bottom, heroic achievement of 2020) Calling people who tried hard to help someone "liars" is above any level of tolerable.

Do not listen to talk radio. said the propogandist. I've listened to Rush for yrs. Before that it was other talk radio. Plus I do my own research. If I still debated with libs, I'd gladly debate you on any political topic. But after spending many yrs on the Outside Asylum & Water Cooler, I quit trying to make any logical arguments with libs because it was as exasperating as trying to explain trigonometry to a 3 yr old. The problem is that we are NOT headed in the same direction. Two people in St Louis, one going to San Fran & the other to NYC cannot compromise on their destination unless one is willing to change. |
The internet is not your friend when it comes to politics. Buy a book, subscribe to some magazines. Alternate television news sources. Do not listen to talk radio. Travel safely to other countries. Quit the pseudo intellectual attempts at relevance or to put it more plainly quit the laziness.

"TheTubes. Have recently been on the hunt for their records."
oldheavy, I have the 1st two albums-"The Tubes: and "Young and Rich".
Tough to find decent condition LP's, but they're out there. Cheap too.
Their early stuff really tells a stories about the times. "White Punks on Dope" lyrics surprisingly hold up today. Toilet flush ending good check for speaker performance!
To the few who made references to the "Free for all" album- I really liked it when it came out, but I don't give it any play like Ted's debut. IMO, Ted "jumped the shark" after that album- I lost interest. Last album with Derek St Holmes, It was a full Ted show from then on. I have an Amboy Dukes"-Journey to the center of the mind" Good stuff.
Other posters responding to MC's remarks. Just ignore him. Pay no attention, it eventually goes away.
I can understand his remarks striking a nerve with those directly affected. Lost loved ones, friend and MD's. I had 2 friends pass-both in their 50's.

Question to the CV19 naysayers, do you actually believe what you are writing, or are you spewing this to get a rise out of people?
Both options are very sad, but for very different reasons. |
@fertguy
Why didn’t Trump get HCL when he got sick? They gave him the good stuff instead. Is everything a conspiracy for you? By the way, he and is family got vaccinated. |
@rushfan71.
Yep. Gotta be true to the narrative or get cancelled. Lemmings just follow without asking. question. Then, their .Dunning Kruger makes them jump anyone who doesn't buy the narrative

I like Stranglehold and I can tolerate the song Cat Scratch Fever, but every other song on the album Cat Scratch Fever sucks and then Nugent released an album a year for the next 3 years and then an album every other year up until 1988 for a total of 7 albums and it all sucked. And I mean sucked bad. Just my opinion. |
Why was HCL banned in some states? It worked on the few that took it.Survival rate of CV19 is 99.7%The "vaccine", which it's not, wasn't brought in for CV. CV was brought in for the "vaccine". Look at the world push to jab everyone. This is not about your health.

I do very much appreciate MC's openness and willingness to try what many perceive as "voodoo" when it comes to audio/tweaks.
Interesting how it is in complete opposition to other views.
People are fascinating creatures :)

perkri... TWO of the greatest figures of the old world were found in a basket floating down the river, or hidden in the reeds...
Some of the greatest accomplishments in my life were family for sure, but not a blood relatives.
We all have a purpose.. Don't deny the obvious when you have so much to offer while waiting..
Ya never know what might come floating down the river. Be of good cheer, there is a plan.. Forest, Trees. :-)

I like MC too, I don't care who doesn't like his views (we're more alike than not). He was there along with a few others, to encourage me at a real tough time in my life.. Say what you will, he speaks his mind. Don't tell him, but he has a BIG ol HEART.. He's an American, tried and true in my eyes.. No, he ain't perfect. I guess that's what I like the most.. Just like the rest of you and me..
How fun this would be if we all just agreed.. Horse pucky we'd all be bored to death..
Hat on the floor... As I walk around it to the beat of the music with my faithful K-9 (Bubs) following me.. Stomp Stomp.. She stops (the dog) and we slowly back around the hat.. Olay!
Beef Jerky time... oh how fun..... :-) |
fertguy, "glupson, That would be money, $, you know, CASH" In that case, I rest my case. |
....comes out of it, recovers fully and can then speak to what a crappy experience it was and how grateful he is to the healthcare workers..." Yeah, right! Here is one example of how it really goes...
millercarbon 04-09-2021 11:13pm
............So all I will do is reiterate to never set foot in a hospital unless you absolutely must, and then beat tracks out of there as fast as you can, all the while telling yourself the whole time the doctor is talking, "This guy is lying, he is lying, lying, lying to me. Oh God there he goes again lying. Liar liar healthcare’s on fire." |
glupson, That would be money, $, you know, CASH

Like I suggested previously, these forums need a “ throw down” section.

Facts
In 2020 39,000,000 contracted the Flu. 20,000 died
Feb 2020 to Feb 2021 29,000,000 contracted Covid 520,000 died
Sad but true
|
Well, given MC's career, the ether?
|
By the way, where did millercarbon's post go anyway? |
@oldhvymec
I feel your pain :)
Every month, the Ex would think she was pregnant.
My response would be "Nope, not pregnant. Tuesday..."
Tuesday would roll around.
"I'm not pregnant"
Yeah...
I'm sure the records are fine, what are the chances of mold forming on them after a few decades

Guess what OZ if someone (THAT'S ONE) doesn't say something. WE all deserve what we get.. I spoke up. WE don't deserve it. Don't worry about the politics, if being STUPID is political.. So Be It.. I call it being informed, so we can shoot the crap about STEREO GEAR.
If your not here and pushin' up daisies, guess what we ain't gonna be talkin' about stereo gear for darn sure.. More like is sure is HOT DOWN HERE. How did I wind up here..
OH I MUST HAVE BEEN PC (politically correct), when they should have been JC correct and MET HIM. Would have wound up in a LOT more pleasant place.. Heck I'll add something more to the mix. What some call a religion. I call a person.. No one else makes that claim..
Strike me down if you must.. I ain't going anywhere until my time is done.
What better place to share MY good fortune, than with MY friends. Right here on AG.. I never met a person I didn't like.. EVER.. Close though..
With great Respect and Regard... Behold I stand at the DOOR and knock!!!! Billy Graham 1964, sure got my attention...Moody Texas.. |
So every body is in on that hoax: president Trump, Operation Warps Speed, president Obama, president Carter, president Bush, president Biden, the Pope, dr Fauci, the CDC, France, Spain, Israel, CNN, Fox, The New York Times, China, Russia, CVS, Walgreens, the NBA, the NFL, the NHL. Good thing Q is there to tell us the truth. Ted Nugent must be one of the brightest among us. |
@boothroyd
Thank you for helping to clarify malevolence. Prior to your link I had no idea what that meant...
And thank you for providing a science>media example by pulling something out of context and using it for your own purposes.
The preface clearly indicates my actual stance.
I can add a definition of preface if that helps? |

The Tubes. Have recently been on the hunt for their records. Kind of a guilty pleasure, kind of not :) Very much enjoy their sounds.
I'm pretty sure I have a few. The problem 300-400 LPs got caught in a pipe burst in my basement 30-35 years ago.. I still have to pull them a clean them. It is the wife's vinyl, too. Man or man she has NEVER forgot or forgiven for that matter.. Elephant memory when it comes to some things.. Can't remember how to make rice BUT remembers that.. :-)
Her and Captain Beefheart, Big Rod the Mod fan too.. females.. :-)

Great going Audiogon members. Nice way to keep politics out of an audio forum. You should be proud.......

My wife lost her uncle, I knew him 45 years. 5 people in Tracy CA got sick, the WHOLE family, behind the 16 year old kid..
What ever it is, it KILLED him.. Tell me it's a hoax, BULLSHI$.
He worked for 59 years, He retired from Ace Hardware at 79 years old after working there close to 20 years after retiring from Dupont and 30 years of service..
My wife attended his funeral.. Hoax.. MORRON... May have been a lot of BS but it took 6 weeks to get him buried, there were so many DEATHS.
SARS is serious...BEING STUPID is worse.. Can't cure stupid..
NO REGARDS PERIOD.. |
Read about him contracting Covid. Sad, I don't wish ill on anyone.
Have concerns though. If he walks away from this with comparative ease, its not going to help raise any public awareness as far as the risks associated with Covid.
So, as much as i don't want him to endure too much pain, it might be good if he has to get put on a ventilator for a while, comes out of it, recovers fully and can then speak to what a crappy experience it was and how grateful he is to the healthcare workers and how folks should just wear masks.
But, thats not going to happen...

Direct data of illness and death, not some contrived, assumption-based derivatives, clearly shows the number of minimum deaths from COVID. I say minimum, because the number of deaths overall, are well above what would be expected deaths plus COVID deaths (ie, deaths from COVID are getting undercounted). I’m a scientist who helps oversee major science facilities, am in Zoom calls with COVID researchers, read the peer reviewed medical and science literature, and am a COVID long-termer myself. Anyone who intentionally misrepresents the seriousness of this pandemic is being deeply irresponsible. I am finding that I have a hard time trusting the judgement of those who don’t take this pandemic seriously or who pass on false information knowingly, including on audio. |
millercarbon I have always held SOME interest in your audio experience, though I have not enjoyed your condescending, arrogant persona. I have no interest in getting in a political or medical debate with anyone on this AUDIO website, as it is clearly inappropriate. BUT I cannot sit by without comment on your ignorant espousal of false medical information and the ongoing pandemic. You can believe what you wish, but the facts available do not mesh with your claims. Besides the reliable statistics linked below, do you not know anyone who has had COVID and/or died from COVID? If not, that is unusual, as I know quite a few, and the stories of the survivors are horrible, let alone the stories I cannot hear from the deceased... Respectfully, please pass opinions on subjects that you at least have personal knowledge of, and try to be somewhat polite in doing so.... https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7014e1.htmJay Weiskopf, MD |
How is over half million dead in just the USA, a lie? |
I can't believe I'm saying this, but MC is right on point. 7 universities just checked 1500 "confirmed" C19 cases using SEM from KOCH Laboratories and were unable to detect C19 in a single sample. A CDC paper states they have been depending on 37-40 ladder links to identify an organism that has 30k to 40k ladders in it RNA. It's ALL been a lie. |
Don't get vaccinated stupid people. Don't believe in science.
The world will be a better place with less of you around. |
"Save for old people who tragically have no choice, COVID mainly infects the unintelligent."
We all hope you recover quickly. |
I ate lunch with Alice Cooper. |
Chuck hit the nail on the head!
A John Hopkins University researcher posted those statistics on Twitter.
Twitter removed the post, then John Hopkins removed it from their web sight.
Trust the science they said (unless it contradicts the narrative).
It's funny, I don't remember anyone being concerned when the Motor City Mad Man caught the Flu in the past. |
Save for old people who tragically have no choice, COVID mainly infects the unintelligent.
If it catches on hot again, I am expecting a big jump in cognitive behaviour. Who knows, it could be a good thing. |

You meant, the far Left nonsense permeates everything these days.
Happy Listening! |
Indeed, sadly, far right nonsense permeates everything these days. |
MC,
When was the last time "the regular flu" crippled a nations health care system? When was the last time "the regular flu" had
first world countries
setting up field hospitals in cities? When was the last time "the regular flu" forced morgues to order the use of cold storage trailers to handle the overflow of bodies? |
@glupson
So MC had it too? That hoax can be very painful. Ted talked about crawling out of bed in pain, feeling like he was going to die. They believe Qanon is real but COVID-19 is a hoax. Go figure. Weird. |
It's in the air tonight
It's a free-for-all
|
" Believe what you will but MC is right on the money....just have to do research as he has done." Thanks, I’d rather skip the kind of research he has done and believe his words that it was bad... millercarbon10-17-2020 2:48pm
Its not dead, but I almost was. Nine days in hospital, multi-focal pneumonia bad enough they nearly had me on a vent. Kind of lost interest in the blather. Not the news, like your sub experience. But the blather. Which unfortunately the only thing seems capable of getting the blatherers to move along please is to leave them to their own devices. Sad. But true. millercarbon10-17-2020 9:34pm
I was at one point on 10 liters 02, which is a lot of oxygen, and even at that out of breath and feeling like I was about 10 feet underwater. That’s just lying there. Just to roll over, adjust blankets, was an effort it took a while to recover from. How close I was to being on a vent, I don’t want to know. Too close for comfort. |
