"The Teleportation Tweak is the phenomenal new product from
Machina Dynamica. The Teleportation Tweak is an advanced
telecommunications technique discovered and developed by
Machina Dynamica for upgrading audio systems remotely
-- even over very long distances. Machina Dynamica
routinely performs the Teleportation Tweak for distances
of 1000-4000 miles and has recently performed the
Teleportation Tweak for a distance of 10,000 miles.

"The Teleportation Tweak has a profound effect on the
sound - clearer, more information, greater frequency
extension and more realistic-sounding - and is performed
during a phone call to Machina Dynamica. The phone call
to Machina Dynamica can be made via landline phone
(including cordless phone) or cell phone from any
room in the house.
....

"It is not necessary for the system to be ON at the time
of the telephone call; however, if A/B comparison of the
Teleportation Tweak before and after the call is desired,
the customer's audio system should be turned ON and
warmed up prior to the call; the customer can thus
evaluate favorite tracks before and after the
Teleportation Tweak is performed.

"The effects of the Teleportation Tweak are instantaneous
and the improvement to sound quality will be audible
immediately. The Teleportation Tweak excels in
3-dimensionality, lushness, inner detail and air.
Bonus: The picture quality of any video system in
the house will also be improved - better color and
contrast!

I loved the bit about the "intelligent chip".

"The Intelligent Chip is a small Orangecicle orange wafer that, when placed on
top of a compact disc player for 2 seconds, upgrades the CD, DVD or SACD being
played. The sound of the upgraded disc has more detail and articulation,
better dynamics and an absence of digital harshness. Voices are more
human-sounding and less synthetic. And the upgrade is permanent."



I've heard of "a fool and his money are soon parted", I think Geoff Kait is
trying to push those boundaries.

I mean, I try to explain why the myths are just that to people, but this is
way too far fetched even for me. If this kind of stuff looks good to someone,
really, dude, they shoot horses for less than this.

And if you believe very strong in it, you'll lose weight, it will cure all
your diseases and you'll win the next lottery

I wonder how many people paid the money.

I'd rather get their "Clever Little Clock"
(http://machinadynamica.com/machina41.htm) -- for $199, you get some $5 travel
alarm with some real utility, after all. I love their disclaimer, "Machina
Dynamica reserves the right to use more than one brand/model to produce Clever
Little Clocks, so don't be alarmed if the Clock you receive is not the exact
one in the photo. All versions of the Clever Little Clock are sonically
equivalent." I guess their local dollar store or Big Lots gets different
stock from time to time, eh?

There are plenty of scams out there trying to separate people from their
money; Machina Dynamica there is just trying to operate up there with the
$10,000 speaker cable guys rather than the $3/minute Miss Cleo types. On the
other end of the spectrum you have places such as McKinsey & Company (2005
revenue estimated at $3.8 billion --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKinsey_&_Company, daily consulting fees
"often far exceed $10,000 per day") who surely THINK they're some sort of
"Gods" when it comes to business management, but the actual track record would
seem to indicate they're probably not that much better than some guy who ran,
say, a gas station profitably for a couple decades.
