Default mmmm, More Bull!

Everybody seems to love this kind of **** so here's one more!

Seems like an "Intelligent ~ Upgrade" to me.
The entire description rocks. Kudos to the guy selling this thing. I wonder how many he has sold. I'd like the list of buyers, I have a ton of 'important investment opportunities' for them.

There does seem to be a real synergy between audio writers and scam artists.

They do make one mistake and claim increased dynamic range- that's actually a measurable attribute (unlike the vague verbal and legal Jello of "more air, less congestion"), and that could hang them if someone were to make a court case out of it.

What about that sooper tweeter that 'works' in the giga hertz
frequency band.

Whilst I agree it is important to keep an open mind, it strikes
me that some people [reviewers] like to sit on the fence a
little too much.

Yes. It really works. My company sells an add-on super-intelligent chip which removes the 16 CD limit. For only $29.95 you can use the Intelligent chip over and over with your entire cd collection.
Take advantage of this limited time special offer (only to diyaudio members).

Superintelligent Chip, SGSIC-10 (upgrades 10 intelligent chips) $29.95

The effects of these chips are quite exciting to the ear initially, but like all such "enhancements," they distort the sound and remove the listener from a deeper appreciation of the music. It's much like using an Aphex exciter or changing the EQ to hot up the top end and give a big bump in the bass. After time, the listener finds it fatiguing. And it's too late- these treatments are not only damaging, they're permanent.

Until now, that is. I have a chip that will remove the effects of the machinadynamica and the analog_sa chips. Unfortunately, due to the use of classified Stealth technology and Dr. Y's extensive experimentation with the combination of material energies to exactly compensate for those unmusical chips sold to the unwary, the price of the CounterChip is $129.95. But really, there's no comparable improvement that you can buy at this price, or (I might humbly suggest) at several times that price.

I am currently taking orders and will begin shipping next month.

Of course this can't be any good. Everybody knows it has to cost an arm and a leg before it can be that. Like Transparent Cable's box of air or Reference Audio Mods' lacquered wood knob.

Where's the platinum plated version? I thought that these would sound like poop unless you used the platinum plating with C37 lacquer on it. I know that this raises the cost, but I only have 10 CDs for my $150,000 system, and I really feel that they're worth improving rather than buying another disc.
