The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas

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

.... and look, Marco dropped his hall pass..........

Yeah, and I paid good money for that pass too! Can anyone suggest any upgrades from eternal damnation? I didn't know there was no music...I thought at least there may be some Tool or NIN playing down there. Is there a Jesus iPod that I may be able to sneak in?

I recieved last night an E-mail from Geoff Kait, who must be one of the owners of Machina Dynamics and an Audiogon member, regarding this post and the total failure of his "Intelligent Chip" on improving in anyway the performance of my digital front end in my system. It was well written and friendly enough, but is a classical example of bullshit excuse making to try to explain away why his product is truly a joke. I paraphase his E-mail: 1) That my system was either out of phase or that my system has a overall problem that can't be solved by using his chip. 2) I could take off the top of my transport so I could put the chip inside the chassis, instead of on top of the exterior. 3) In order to do step 2, I then would have to modify the chip itself in order to get it thin enough to place inside the chassis next to the transport. Well, I'll guarantee when these procedures also fail to produce anything worthwhile, Mr. Kait will have other excuses or rationlizations to discount that the "Intelligent Chip" is nothing but magical/mystical crap. I started this thread in the spirit of good cheer and fun, and understand why Mr. Kait would make an attempt to stand up for his product, but my serious statement would be that this kind of stuff is way many people do not respect audiophiles and our wonderful hobby at all because they think we take things like the "Intelligent Chip" seriously. It's nothing but snake oil and preferably should be seen as the joke it is. One final thought, if Mr. Kait wanted to defend his product, why not do on this post and not a private E-mail? Please Mr. Kait do not E-mail me, but if you want to respond do it on this thread in the public domain for all Audiogon members, not in a private dialog with me.

Teajay, do not confuse experience with scientificly relevant information. Your experience is hardly conclusive.

I know nothing about the intelligent chip, since I'm too stupid to understand it (I don't believe in intelligent design, I believe in Biblical Creationism based on the preponderance on scientific evidence!) and besides I have not made the effort, but I would not be stupid enough to condemn something about which I know nothing.

Are you the anti-shill???
