Other factors affecting sound

Millercarbon’ s ID says he has been banned. Very knowledgeable… lots to offer… but also added a lot of attitude that made the forum less friendly. From a technical point we were virtually always of the same opinion. 

Remindes me of a lot of brilliant people that have worked for me. With brilliant frequently comes a lot of conflict with others.

While I am not familiar with every one of millercarbon ’s posts, it would seem a shame if he was banned as I’d trade a modicum of civility at the expense of harmony if, in exchange, we may all benefit from more frequent brilliance as a check on conventional wisdom.

Perhaps millercarbon didn’t suffer fools gladly - but what does it say about us if we can’t put up with that? We’d rather be unenlightened than have our egos bruised? The everlasting joke is we’re all fools for pursuing audio perfection. The degree of unattainability and gorgeousness of this folly is the thing that exposes just how big a fool we really are - and which (gladly) binds us together, intellectually and aesthetically. I sensed millercarbon got that.

@kevn do you have anything going into your powercell anymore?

He suffered himself gladly.

@gwng8 - I still have my streamer, transport and DAC plugged into it, and in the process of taking each off one at a time for direct connection to the modified Furutech shielded distributors to listen for audible differences or betterments. I’ll update when I have a better idea - but clearly better with the amp and preamp direct.
