| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? Why was Millercarbon banished? Censorship is a tool of elites who view themself as more noble and more knowledgeable than others. Freedom of speech is a concept not required by people who express popular ideas. | |

If you want a graphic demonstration, find Sterophile Test CD3. It contains a binaural recording made at the 1992 Canadian GP... | |
| Why this forum deletes full threads ? Why was Millercarbon removed? I learned a lot from him. Now that he has been banished, maybe I'll go "labyby." | |
