Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?

Paul, I can understand you thoughts on it. In whole, Geoff has some of the most odd and unusual products out there which by default opens his products up to hammering on or in the very least, question marks.

I have not seen much else outside the audiogon world so I don't have as broad of an understanding how things are handled outside of this forum.

Geoff in some sense has become the poster child for audio geeks to poke fun at. I struggle with the tearing down and beating on the guy endlessly as if the mans not human.

I don't think an explanation of his products is not an unreasonable request and think it's where this whole frustration from audiophiles develops from which may be an area Geoff went wrong in.

Just my opinion!

I guess all you can do is buy the cheapest gear and enjoy it.

I knew it was just a matter of time until Norm resorted to a "my **** is bigger than yours" argument. For someone who shilling phone clicks, in the absence of any intelligent arguments, the ad hominum attcks are inevitable. But suggesting that someone can't afford to buy equipment as good as yours, Norm, is really crossing a line.

Time for you to take a refresher course on Audiogon posting guidelines and crawl back under your rock.

Sorry, Jeffrey, you not only quoted out of context but also misunderstand. I said, "I am sorry the threat of perception bias, what you call the placebo effect, keeps you from buying anything, less your ears deceive you. I guess all you can do is buy the cheapest gear and enjoy it." Let me explain. If you fear your ears are deceiving you, all that you can have confidence in would be the cheapest gear.

Why don't you read more closely and stop putting words in my mouth. I am sorry if logic escapes you.

Why don't you get real. On some threads you appear rational. How come on others are a real jerk?

Getting back to the original question. Yes, I think the Brilliant pebbles are usefull.

You can purchase a x-large bottle for about $20+ on an auction. Placing 2-3 of these in your room helps dial in the soundstage and supports the bass response.
Dont know why , but they do. Definatly a positive product to have.
I had a bottle break and Geoff quickly replaced it.

Please no trashin, just my take on them.

However, the teleport tweek may be out there...

Ozzy, watch out you will be called an idiot, a shill, or worse for saying that your personal experience suggests some benefit from the Brilliant Pebbles or any tweak for that matter. They think that misquoting and mockery wins the argument for them. Their behavior is like the schoolyard bully.

As I have said before my experience with the BPs initially was little impact but then with them more opportunely placed was quite favorable. Later with a new preamp, I have yet to find a placement where they do not detract from the sound. I suspect that they are so powerful that one needs to use them quite carefully.
