...I'm a little confused by your comment, which seem to be your Big Gripe, that I don't explain my products. I actually have explanations for all of them with a couple of exceptions. So, it's actually you who has come out swinging before doing due diligence.
Your suggestion to do some due diligence sounded like a good idea. So I did just that.
About your product the "Super Intelligent Chip," you say...
Machina Dynamica's latest product is The Super intelligent Chip - the third and latest version of the Intelligent Chip, a small adhesive-backed silver disc that is attached to the surface of the lower portion of the CD tray used for Mini Discs. This placement allows the Super Intelligent Chip to be inserted inside the player along with the CD to be treated. The CD to be treated is allowed to play for about 1-2 seconds. The CD will then be permanently upgraded and will sound much more open, detailed and dynamic, with no distortion - better than a remastered version!
Here is your explanation of how it works...
In the case of the original Intelligent Chip, CD laser light escapes the player through a number of small holes and narrow gaps in the CD player case. The emitted photons from chip commingle with the CD laser light that is everywhere in the room and inside the player; the commingled light resonates with the CD's polycarbonate material, improving its optical performance. In the case of The Super Intelligent Chip, the process occurs entirely inside the CD player where all the interactions are more intense.
I would invite you to consider that explaining how a product works in terms of "commingled photon resonance" isn't an explanation to 99% of your potential customers, even the physicists among them.
Using terms like 'photon' seems to suggest that you intend your explanation to fall within the purview of scientifically valid explanations. I happen to know something about scientific explanations, having spent years researching and publishing on intertheoretic relations and reductionism in science. Generally I'm not a fan of exchanging résumés, but I would like to head off the charge that I'm simply making up the following...
Nearly all scientifically valid explanations are nomological, mechanistic, or teleological. That is to say, they explain events or entities in terms of underlying LAWS, MICROSTRUCTURE, or FUNCTIONS, respectively. Physics is the paradigmatic example of nomological explanation. Chemistry is the paradigmatic example of mechanistic explanation. Biology is the paradigmatic example of teleological explanation.
Where does your explanation in terms of "commingled photon resonance" fit in? If the answer is that it is a nomological explanation, then what are the underlying LAWS responsible for the effect of the Super Intelligent Chip? If you do not have an answer to that question, then your "explanation" is not an explanation, or at least not a scientifically valid explanation, as your terminology invites the potential customer to believe.
About your product "Codename Blue Meanies," you say...
Machina Dynamica's latest product, Codename Blue Meanies, is a set of 4 adhesive-backed 3/4" blue dots that are attached to the walls of the listening room, one dot per wall...
The Blue Meanie is neither a damper nor a resonator so it's location on the wall, unlike dampers and resonators, is not critical whatsoever. A Blue Meanie can be placed anywhere on the wall; it can even be hidden behind a picture or bookcase...
Here's your explanation of how they work...
Codename Blue Meanies operates via mind matter-interaction. The subconscious mind interacts with room boundaries, i.e., closed-in spaces, producing a claustrophobic reaction that interferes with and degrades the listener's sensory perception.
Several of your explanations involve "mind/matter interaction," as you call it. "Mind/matter interaction" is the purview of the Cognitive Sciences, which happens to be my other area of interest. I spent years researching and publishing on the neural correlates of conscious experience. I cannot think of a single scientific theory, experiment, or conjecture that substantiates the "degradation of sense perception" attributable to a "claustrophobic reaction" caused by the "subconscious interaction of the mind with room boundaries." Perhaps you could direct me to a article.
About your product "Frog Jump in Water Sound Room Acoustics Tweak," you say...
Machina Dynamica's latest product, Frog Jump in Water Sound Room Acoustics Tweak, reduces distortion, reveals more ambient information, increases palpability and air and improves overall realism. The Frog Jump in Water Sound Room Acoustics Tweak entails the placement of 4 small plastic containers filled with ordinary water in strategic locations...
And here is your explanation...
"...................................."
You don't give one.
About your "Tru-Tone Duplex Covers"...
Machina Dynamica's Tru-Tone Duplex Covers are special audiophile-grade covers for all duplex wall outlets; they are intended to replace all types of duplex covers - steel, plastic, wood, etc. - in the listening room -- including non-audio outlets and unused outlets. While one or two Tru-Tone Covers can make a significant improvement to the sound, 3-4 Duplex Covers in the room can yield tremendous results. Tru-Tone Duplex Covers produce a remarkable degree of focus, fullness, detail and presence.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When installing the Tru-Tone Duplex Cover, the screw should be loosened 1 to 1 1/2 turns from the point when it is nearly tight; never overtighten.
Again, no explanation.
About your "Quantum Temple Bell"...
The Quantum Temple Bell is an extensively treated Feng Shui Tibetan hand bell that improves audio and video quality when it is rung in "strategic locations" around the room; these strategic locations are identified in our instructions for the bell. The bell operates by mind-matter interaction as opposed to affecting acoustic waves in the room. The bell ringing procedure takes about 2 minutes. Further improvements can be obtained by repeating the procedure in all rooms of the house.
The system does not have to be ON during the bell ringing procedure since the Bell's operation is independent of the system. The effects of the Quantum Temple Bell are long lasting and the Bell ringing can be performed once a month to maintain performance.
No explanation, other than the vague and cryptic "mind-matter interaction."
About your "Teleportation Tweak"...
The Teleportation Tweak is independent of distance and will work anywhere in the world you happen to be located. We have performed The Teleportation Tweak many times for distances between 1000 and 4000 miles, even for distances greater than 10,000 miles. The Teleportation Tweak works equally well using your landline phone or cell phone.
The Teleportation Tweak has a profound effect on the sound and video picture: (1) Clearer, (2) More information, (3) Greater frequency extension and (4) Lower distortion. The Teleportation Tweak is obtained during a phone call to Machina Dynamica from your landline phone or cell phone; you can make the call from any room in your house. The audio or video system does not have to be ON at the time the call is made. The tweak itself takes about 20 seconds and will sound like a series of mechanical pulses.
This one not only doesn't have an explanation, it doesn't have a DESCRIPTION. About this, you say...
The operational details of the Teleportation Tweak are the proprietary property of Machina Dynamica.
Proprietary property? No wonder you don't explain it.
You see where this is going. If you don't, everyone else does.
I hope that clears up the confusion you expressed.
