What issue would that be? I don't want you to feel like I'm ignoring you or minimizing your contribution. LOL

Stereo5 asked about Machina Dynamica products."

Machina Dynamica, a brief history. My web site was initially set up and designed by Dr. Thomas Slivinski, the first PhD in Computer Science from U. Of Illinois, Urbana, and one of the designers of the advanced computer at Urbana that became the model for HAL 9000 in the movie, 2001- A Space Odyssey. Machina Dynamica started out with one product, the Nimbus Unipivot Sub-Hertz Isolation Platform, a 6-degree-of-freedom isolation stand that debuted at CES in the Mapleshade/Gallo room. The Nimbus was so tricky to construct and set up that it was virtually impossible to duplicate. Hardened steel spring-based Promethean Base replaced Nimbus five years later. About that time I discovered crystals and produced the world's first comprehensive crystal-based audio product - Brilliant Pebbles, named after the Star Wars weapon system. Next there was a turquoise scattered laser light absorber for CD and a yellow one for Blu Ray. Then a few things that go bump in the night - extensively treated clocks, improving systems over the telephone, quantum chips with synthetic atoms, things of that nature. Machina Dynamica's copper foils for windows and the Pretzel Logic Reef Knot Device for audio and non-audio cables are the latest products. I am also the only dealer for Princeton University and International Consciousness Research Laboratories' The Mind Lamp - an color-changing ambient light device the color pattern of which is influenced by human thought.

For the record Geoff, I rely on feedback from the general population in regards to the performance of the audio products I make decisions on. I have never read or owned an audio mag. Not sure what you mean by Peer Review/ validation process but if you consider sane common sensical opinions on the so-called tweaks your peddling to be a conservative choke-hold on the progress and betterment of our hobby, then I suppose we're in for some really fabulous technological breakthroughs thanks to MD in about fifty years. Imagine taking the lid off your hi-end amp and finding nothing but a box full of rocks. Amazing! Or maybe a tiny orchestra of bumble-bees humming out a tune. I can just see it now; Bedrock will by then be a veritable metropolis with all the advancements you could expect from a burgeoning little stone-age town. Fred and Barney busting with pride.

BTW, you did use the Flintstones to come up with your ideas, didn't you? Come on, tell the truth.

Interesting. So it sounds like you wish to progress no further than the general population. That's not very adventuresome. :-)

Ah, I see, you mistrust reviewers and trust the general population.

:-)

You got it too! If someone goes and jumps in the lake, I may or may not follow. However, audio mags just don't interest me. I'd rather play.
