Uh…. Guys…..

MC understands marketing.  Be hated....have someone start a thread to promote it and then watch the flock come.  How many of you checked out his website?  Genius.  Good Luck MC in your new venture.  

@fuzztone

Looks sick to me. Time for last rites?

Fuzz really!? Words have power/vibrations...You actually took the time and energy to write the above statement about someone?

Shame on Agon moderators for even letting something like that with an association of a preponderance of death and sickness of someone appear on this site.

MC has a nice and well crafted website. And to me if that is a picture of MC, I thought the guy looked in good shape for his age. Hey, but that’s just me.

I don't think he got kicked of this website as I've seen him pop up every now and then.

@tyray 

Who is the April fool now?

Tyray seems familiar...

@noromance, I know this is way off topic but, nice audio rig/hifi basement/den setup! It’s got a very vintage constructed look. I don’t know what I like the most, your rig set up or your album racks...?

And the way you’ve taken the hood off some your gear to take advantage of the basements ambient cooling, outstanding free tweak!

I love the look and functionality of the custom speaker stands and the turntable platform that looks as stout as any I've seen, with the inexpensive Nobsound Spring Isolation too boot.

And just so you know, like a lot of us, I’ve bumped heads with MC many a times. So much so I’ve lost count...

And those cable risers...So simple, yet so elegant. What a craftsman you are. I’m gonna steal every audio/hifi idea from you I can.

@nonoise *L* One doesn’t need to care, actually.

It’s the whole evolution of a sort of meme... ;)

I’ve this shirt that states:

Free Contradictions!
$1

There’s too many breezes blowing up my aft to steer by here.... ;)

Perhaps attempting not to stare at the nascent birth of a neo audioguruvie....?

...maybe reciting the Lord’s Prayer backwards over a copy of the Audio Bible (or one’s current ’imho’ version) face down on a backwards pentagram on the bottom of a Mac amp of baked regard....with a moaning maiden as a distraction?

I’ll come...🤪

Let's just be thankful he's gone.  Such knowledge as he had was not value for the rudeness.

The forum is much nicer without him.  His loss seems to have mellowed many other contributors, myself included.  With him not here to hand it out, there's no need for us to respond in kind.

Wonder if he's ruining some other forum somewhere?  He was interested in cars f'rinstance.  I have Porsches but haven't seen him.  And ditto watches, Rolex.

@tyray Thanks. Note the removed covers are not for cooling. Removing the metal plate literally opens up the sound. 

I'll add that when you make this big a negative impact on this many people, you're doing something right.  If nobody cares, then you aren't accomplishing anything.

**** With him not here to hand it out, there’s no need for us to respond in kind.****

Could have fooled me. It is amazing to me how blind some are (and were) to their own behavior. This thread is a great example; and there have been many.
There is seldom a “need” to respond in kind when the behavior being responded to is negative. Equally amazing is how thin skinned many are. So silly to have (and continue to) let someone they don’t know personally and who has no real power over them get under their skins the way that he did. Those clamoring for more civility here should consider that the best way to achieve that is usually to rise above the fray.

HaaaaHaaaa, that home page is a doozie, some creepy looking dude with a sock on his head and a “ would you like to see my basement “ vacant stare !

Real class.

That is not MC in that picture.

@teo_audio -

     Feynman was and will remain, my favorite lecturer (yeah: I'm that old).

     He mentioned often (and: I took to heart) his favorite Rule of Life: "Never stop learning!"

     For all his genius, he never grew overconfident, in his beliefs.    The perfect obverse to the Dunning-Kruger sufferer.

     ie:  “I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong.”

     and: “I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything.”

     Tesla is probably my favorite innovator, who (despite the incessant, projectile vomit, from his day's naysayers), took the World, kicking and screaming, into the 20th century, with his inventions.

                                                  His thoughts: 

     “Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.”

     “All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combatted, suppressed, only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.”

     NO: I was never an MC fanboy, BUT: he DID experiment, trust and believe his own ears and capacity to discern reality, then: share his conclusions, which makes him a loss to this site, in my opinion.

                         iow (like it or not): I couldn't agree with you more!

     ie: "I wonder if he will allow the discussion of unfounded conspiracy theories on his website?

I dearly hope so.

It’s the only difference between the intelligent and the dense. Thinking openly vs the dogmatic mind of the herd machine.

eg, all of physics is a ’conspiracy.’" ...etc = +1
