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.

Nrchy,

No observable and repeatable evidence? How about Cancer? If the first treatments don't kill it all the lone surviror(s) begin re-produce and this will kill.

Also, try Avian flu.

This might have been a fun topic to cover, but...

I sure wish we could limit the debate on AUDIOgon to arguments about tubes vs. transistors, digital vs. analog, 2 channel vs. home theater, etc. Those who wish to trade jabs on science and religion should do so in some other, appropriate forum.

Wow....what a discussion this has been! I have watched and casually studied both sides of the Creation vs Evolution argument over the years and have realized that people on both sides are passionate about their positions because there is evidence to support both. I have concluded for myself, and I am not attempting to push my beliefs on anybody, that God created everything we are, see and experience, but that evolution was the mechanism He used to accomplish it. Just my 2 cents. :o)

I have an opinion about science versus religion too, but will avoid discussing that at Audiogon.

Audiogon is a site for music and making it better. We owe each other the respect and freedom to worship (or not) as each sees fit.

Anyway, your more likely to convince a fellow member to buy a great new piece of software than changing something as deep as their view on religion versus science.
