Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
+++ Thank you. This coming from you means a lot to me +++I know Norm, and you are most welcome. I thank you for your participation. I just love goading with the mentally handicapped. 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
LOL, you mean spending $200 on a $1.99 clock to improve my sound will mean my head in not in the sand? Or how about $75 on a phone call to hear a 1980's modem? Or how about $160 for some rocks I can pick up for free next to the road? Man, you're s... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
+++ Paul, I am glad that you agree that further discussion is useless. +++A somewhat bewildering statement to make by someone that started threads on the very same topic under another forum.Regards, and mind you don’t cut your fingers when you sla... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
+++ If one hears something that improves ones sound, is it logical to say that you don't understand it and therefore it cannot be true? +++Nope, and had I actually said as much I would have been wrong. Of course, eluding I had made comments that I... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
+++ I've no problem allowing for physical phenomena whose mechanism we've yet to understand and quantify.+++Of course. However, we can apply a certain level of reason. If a tweak can effect, lets say vibration or acoustics, we can assume a high pr... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
+++ you are ignorant of both logic and what science has to say about anything+++Lol. Let me repeat myself, 'Wow somebody that says {and I quote verbatim} “I am untroubled by not knowing how it works” is lecturing me' on science and logic.Pray tell... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
+++ So, Pauly, you will castigate me for saying when it comes to audio buying decisions that I don't care how it works, and then for not having scientific "facts?" +++No, I castigate you for eluding I bask in the same ignorance you do. You’re the ... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
Wow, somebody that says {and I quote verbatim} “I am untroubled by not knowing how it works” is lecturing me on scientific method. +++ Please spare us your trite phrases and unscientifically based judgment without fact +++LOL, without fact you say... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
+++ I was a physics major, among other majors, in the 1960s +++Good for you Norm, you have a bachelors degree. My secretary has an MBA.+++ In reality, I doubt very much that you have any understanding of physics or the limitations on our knowledge... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
+++ Their physics are no less sound than those behind most tweaks and cables and they have smarter guys coming up with product names. +++LOL - a little clock or pebbles have the same factual basis for improving sound as a speaker cable? Okaaaay. 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
Norm, let rephrase correctly. The critics' "physics" tends to be real physics, the "physics" of MD tends to be zero factual basis and believed only by the ignorant and gullible. The ignorant have little problem believing MD (lack of) physics as th... 
amp via transformer 220 - 110 a good idea?
Malickia. A transformer can work fine and actually give an improvement in sound. What you need to do is to get one that is totally over-spec. i.e. 10 times what your amp is going to require otherwise you’ll end up having the issues Semi describes.... 
New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option
+++ I think the proponents of belt driven turntables will disagree with this: they will miss the sight of the big external motor with the rotating belt +++The Verus is external and not direct drive ... 
Anyone cure hum with isolation transformers?
Have a look at Bruce Rozenblit's comments at http://www.transcendentsound.com/power_supply.htm 
Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable
Dan, my apologies, I should have mentioned my concerns were based mostly on two Teres owner’s posting on VA. The one owner has subsequently sold his Teres and bought a VPI. The post was not aimed at you.The said gentlemen had, to my knowledge, no ...
