Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?


Let's see: we've had the pebbles, the little clock, the turntable platform that includes only some old springs...and now the Contact Paper CD tweek. Do any of us believe in this? I know Geoff's an advertiser, and actually a very nice guy, but come on, fellow audiophiles...this is all the epitome of snake oil! No?
Every idea was tried, and has failed, numerous times. Despite being a nice guy, all he's selling is audio nonsense.

How could i have missed this homage to rigorous analytical thinking:

Short answer,yes!When it comes to Audio,I`ll beleive anything out there until proven otherwise!

Does anyone remember Crazy Eddie?
Hi folks, of course these things (like the Brilliant Pebbles and Shakti Hallographs) are nonsense :)
I think there are others that aren't nonsense but their importance is way overrated. Examples: the new WBT RCA plugs. This is a pure marketing strategy presented as a scientific techno babble addressing the importance of the so called tiny Eddy currents. Well in our audio cosmos even the tiniest Eddy currents and distortions matter, but will we ever hear their effects on sound? I don't think so. If one hears diffences, then I'm affraid it is because of the placebo effect.

Jea48, It's obvious from your questions to Pauly that you have a complete command of the science involving outlet covers - at least I assume that all of the things that you bring up can affect the difference that different outlet covers can introduce into out systems.

Why don't you take a moment and enlighten us on the science involving outlet covers and how all of the variants you bring up can change the differences that they will introduce.

Oh, have you submitted your set up to such rigorous standards? Have you done blind tests? Or do you just hear a difference with your 'dog ears'.
Jeffreybowman2k I have only had two members from audio forums that thought they had to resort to emailing me at home to settle their differences over a subject matter on a forum board. You were the first of the two. And both of you sadly to say from this forum..... Looking back I wished I had saved your vulgar nasty email to post here. But at the time I took it as only a childish email from someone blowing off steam. Though I did not respond to you with an email I did forward it to Agon for a good laugh. I always wondered if they followed through on it with you.

So in closing I hope you and others will understand why I will not respond directly to your posts here on this thread or any other.

Newbee, I never expected this type of post from you.
If you would please check the archives here on Agon as well as the archives on AA you will find I have done exactly as you have asked. I also have given testimonials by others on this forum. I have supplied actual posts from a well respected EE and even a well respected former audio equipment designer and manufacture of audio equipment and other products such as ics and pcs just to name a couple. If you would please take the time and read from the archives of AA you will find others that have run their experiments with similar results. You will also find they talk about the differences in sound can depend on the factors I stated in my post to Paul.

Neebee why don't you present your same challenge to Albert Porter, a well respected member of this forum, in regards to his experimenting and findings for outlet cover plates...... I bet you would find the same questions I asked of Paul were part of the experimenting, testing, and findings that entered into his final conclusions.
