The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas

My dear friend and fellow audiophile bought for me the remarkable, " Intelligent Chip CD Upgrade Device", from Machina Dynamica for my X-Mas present. Well, we all gathered around the sweet spot in front of the old high-end system, put in the demo CD in the transport, put the, " Intelligent Chip" on top of the transport for the recommended 2 to 3 seconds, and absolutely NOTHING happened regarding the sonics in any way! But, boy did we all crack up and had the best laugh on X-Mas day. Now, we had 9 more upgrades left in the, "Intelligent Chip", so if first you don't succeed try, try again. We did and again NOTHING happened except more howls of laughter and good cheer. Well, we decided that the, "Intelligent Chip", was adding as much improvement to the sonics of the system as (Un)Intelligent Design Theory is adding to the scientific explanation of the development/diversity of life on our planet. Both, are just a bunch of .... you fill in the blank, but for the $16.00 the dumb chip cost it was the best gag gift I have ever recieved on X-Mas.

Oh boy, we've done it now.

High end audio (+) digital vs analog (+) religion vs evolution.

Anyone want to add politics and sex so we can have a complete melt down?

Well...uh...do you really have to ask?

In the beginning, god created music and gave man the turntable to listen to his LP collection on, and woman something to complain about....There was a bunch of stuff that happened in between....then there was Viagra...soon thereafter there came a certain son-of-a-Bush, and all hell broke loose..."THE END"

Makes perfect sense to me. See y'all burning in hell, unless you have a hall pass from the lord Jesus. Smores anyone?

I'm not a scientist but I know a few & I don't mean a friend of a friend. One of these guys is a rocket scientist (works on missile trajectories), another the head of an infectious disease facility and another works w/altering plant DNA.

Suffice to say, these are real people with real flaws and they make real mistakes. Now, everybody say, "doh!" and remember that scientific theory is just an idea someone had while sitting on the crapper. Or did it come to them in a dream? I think a lot of theories would be better classified as hypothesis, as one of the definitions for theory is, "An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture".

Hey, in spite of it all have a great New Years

Happy New Year Driver, and look, Marco dropped his hall pass..........

I guess we know where he's going now, and I don't mean where they play music all day.

What have I done! Sorry folks. I take back what I said about evolution on this audio thread. That debate is for another place. But it is interesting that our Lord has a tube amp.

Have a happy Creation Christmas
