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.

Teajay, what you needed was the IBC

(Intelligent Bovine Chip).......After 10 times on your digital, you spread it around your lawn.

I tried it on my CD player, didn't get better sound but afterward, the grass WAS greener on my side of the street.

Well the nice thing about the chip is that you have been able to test and prove it to be faulty, but the idea on design is another story.

Ye of so little faith, perhaps you did no say the proper prayer-incantation?! I for one, once "faith healed" a power amp. After a power outage the transformer was physically humming, but after "laying hands" and thinking positive and deeply spiritual thoughts, the hum soon vanished!
Check the instructions and see if there might be some magical words or ritualistic procedures that you my have overlooked. Digits work in mysterious ways.
