don‘t tell me…… you thought of that all by yourself…..

Is that where MillerCarbon is? Can we expect to see him on the 9th?

sounds most interesting. SR‘s tuning discs are carbon fibre based based, but I was leaning towards the notion that certain minerals were being suspended in the carbon matrix to give it the required properties. I wonder whether the mineral paint additives are contributing towards providing the same sort of effect ? |
It’s a carbon (mix of 3 types) based paint on a thin (.4mm) magnetic sheet with adhesive backing. The paint is sealed with a thin plastic coating. You can trim it to size with scissors, remove the backing paper and stick it to the mains breaker box, obviously safely away from the switches themselves. If you have a PPT Gate, you can stick it onto the surface of The Gate. Use it like PPT mats if you like, with the additional benefit of the adhesive backing. You can also stick pieces anywhere on the equipment chassis (underneath for example). If you are skillful and careful, you can wind strips around cables. All cables will benefit, data, power or signal cables. Also on internet box and wifi modem, and all associated data cables. The closer you can get the tape to the mains power, the better. It would work best on the incoming mains cable outside the house, if that were legal, haha. Please don't ask me how I know. It’s far more than anti vibration or anti resonance. It is anti-microwave. |
@whostolethebatmobile I doubt they would stick onto mine, but I would still like to know exactly what it is. |
I'm sorry MC is not here as I was going to message him. I wanted to send him a sample of a tweak I call Strange Matter. I just felt he would appreciate it. If anyone else with decent equipment, a similar attitude and an open mind would care to receive the sample instead, please let me know. There's no charge whatsoever. I've sent samples of previous (far less effective) tweaks to other Audiogon members in the distant past. Strange Matter is not for sale and never will be. It's my gift to humanity. It is adhesive backed thin tape and must be stuck directly onto the mains breaker box. Imagine PPT x 10.

@mapman … True … True …Human nature since recorded time … One monkey screws another monkey over for a nut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLaW9NnKU6M The MonkeyYeah
The monkey speaks his mind And three monkeys sat in a coconut tree
Discussing things as they are said to be Said one to other now listen, you two "There's a certain rumour that just can't be true That man descended from our noble race Why, the very idea is a big disgrace No monkey ever deserted his wife Starved her baby and ruined her life Yeah
The monkey speaks his mind And you've never known a mother monk
To leave her babies with others to bunk And passed them on from one to another 'Til they scarcely knew who was their mother Yeah The monkey speaks his mind And another thing you will never see
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree And let all the coconuts go to waste Forbidding other monkeys to come and taste Why, if I put a fence around this tree Starvation would force you to steal from me Yeah
The monkey speaks his mind Here's another thing a monkey won't do
Go out on a night and get all in a stew Or use a gun or a club or a knife And take another monkey's life Yes, man descended, the worthless bum But, brothers, from us he did not come Yeah

Arguments could go in your head in loops or in linear sequences... It is called "thinking" in a very restricted sense of the word meaning for sure... A thinking machine dont need someone to argue with.... A.I. dont PLAY chess... When 2 people are here, it is empathy, love, friendship, common values and common goal level and respect that matter.... Not only arguments....We all like music/sound investigation or experiences... I know that you know that for sure then i apologize to you because i dont want to contest your one line post common place fact... I just want to put my grain of salt like you did... In audio thread, we must accept everybody nor for their arguments right or wrong, but for what they are first and second if we accepted that they have the right to exist, we can AFTER that discuss about "truth" and some perspective oriented in truth and for truth.... I dislike only hate , i try to be interested only first by people here and their arguments in second...But too much evident back-thougths implicit intentions repel me also... I like open heart people...Most are like that here i think.... I come here to read people posts and sometimes add my little grain of salt... My audio system/room is done and i listen music and like to discuss, perhaps a bit too much i agree... 😁😊

You are wrong, and if you had bothered to consult a basic definition of the word, you might have spared readers an irrelevant rant.

I have yet to spot a single SHILL on AG. The inference is they push a product for some type of compensation and in reality not care or have any interest other than some type of GAIN. Name ONE that has no interest in the products they push. Ladies and Gents, there are zero SHILLS allowed on these forums. Again name a single person that pushes anything FOR money that they don't like. NOW if there is another word you want to apply, I'm all for it. If Mcintosh gave me 100K, 500K a million dollars worth of gear, I'd never SHILL their product because I can't. I LIKE the product.. If you like the product you cannot SHILL it. You can promote it, sell it, or give it away, but you cannot SHILL what you like... Is that word that hard understand? A SHILL sells drugs but doesn't use them personally. THAT is a perfect example of a SHILL. Guess what it carries, a different sentence too. One they are referred to rehab one they are referred to prison. I'd say there is a difference. You better be using dope if your sellin' dope. Dope addict, dope pusher. No time vs 5 years.. This is the 5th or 6th time I've said the same thing. Show me the BEEF. That will give me a reason (at least) to be jealous and call others names because they act like little kids when they get a new toy.. Let people have fun and learn. I call that young enough to give a crap and not smart enough to know the difference yet.. "LIFE" Dishonest intentions reveal themselves. Has anybody not got their money back EVER? Speak up, has anyone ever got screwed over by and told "I SCREWED YOU OVER" by any AG poster? SR, Townshend, Tekton, NASA or any body else? I'm just askin'? I never met a person I didn't like, but what they say does bear some scrutiny. I'm not one bit different. Call ME what I am, not you think I am. You can always tell a tree by it's fruit. Makes you wonder why some tree exist at all? I Just saw one that spits 2" thorns out.. and a monkey can't climb. Crappy back scratcher too. |
Indeed … I recall him hinting at “ an exciting new direction for him … watch out for updates “ back then …however there has been NO definitive declaration of financial or indentured interest in being a Townshend employee since that date … whereas we have had no shortage of rabid product placement without disclosure of financial interest even up to the time that he was recently flushed !
|
I read it in one if his posts that he joined the Townshend family. You can find it If you want, it was some time in January. I am not a particular fan, just always looking for opinions of audiophiles with lots of experience willing to help. The more the better. The closed minded grouches are not helpful. |
” It wasn’t until he formally joined Townshend a few months ago when he started actually getting paid(I beleive). He declared that when it happened.“
No He Did Not …. He continued to shill for Townsend up until the time he was flushed without once definitively disclosing his indenture to that company or his financial interests in promoting its products … |
Personally I don’t hate anybody so stop playing the hate card. Are you maintaining his hate list for him while gone? Yes he brags about that! I will object to actions and words that are objectionable to me as I please. End of story.
Also don’t tell people what to do just because you might disagree. Just ignore ME yourself if you must. I won’t get into the integrity issues I and others know of that have nothing to do with hifi. Too many words spent on this topic already. Cheers! |
It was kind of a gray area of integrity for MC. He would get free trials or favorable treatment from some of his favorites. It wasn’t until he formally joined Townshend a few months ago when he started actually getting paid(I beleive). He declared that when it happened. Since I had assumed he had some kind of relationship with these companies because he talked about interacting with their owners so much, I assumed he was getting some favorable treatment. He didnt think that was a big deal-that’s where we disagreed. But since I knew that, his statements were taken with that in consideration. Good example was Better Records looking out for an album for him. It saved him time I guess from having to continuously check their web site. if you are a hater, just ignore his posts when he returns. |

@tsushima1 well no doubt plenty of being lied to goes on on plain public view these days and lots of people seem to be all onboard with it. Integrity is not a consideration. Very sad. |

@stereo5 - I have had a few run ins with MC about his compensation (or his statement of lack thereof which turned out to be untrue) and more immeasurable tweaks in the past, but also appreciate some of his advice that was valuable for me in with regard to isolation/vibration control. Just because you disagree with someone you don't have to be a hater. There are some posters here who I won't name that I just skip because I know what they are going to say and really don't add anything new. That is usually not the case with MC. |
You are either a teenager, or senile, (or something else I won’t call you out of sympathy for those people)
And why you tag me on a thread I never posted in, neither do I have any interest exploring, is beyond my imagination
