    I agree, but they have a lot of ads on audiogon. I bet they don't want to part with the wealth.

    No ****.....I guess you could use some of those magic pebbles they sell in a bag taped to your IC's to enhance your audio experience....as in keep a wrist rocket close by and when that bird is interrupting your listening session you open the handy nearby bag and shoot a magic pebble up its rear.

    The address is wrong. It should read Falls Church, VA, not MD. The actual address at 2978 Yarling Ct. Falls Church, VA, 22042 is a condo!!!

    I mean, they are magic. Says so right there in the ad. People can't make false claims in ads due to the truth in advertising act.

    I meant the actual "teleportation sounds" that Machina Dynamica sends over the phone. Maybe we can all chip in $1 to hear what it sounds like ;)

    If you read over at Audio Asylum, and other forums, there are those that swear MD's devices have greatly improved their sound.

    Are you guys implying that they are all imagining it? I mean, they are going by the same slogan used here, "trust your ears". Could they be mistaken?

    "You are just jealous because voices in my head don't talk to you..."

    I've read there's a guy who can hear where the PEBBLES are in his headphone rig.

    EDIT: I meant to say that he not just hears them, but hears their different effects depending where they are placed - that's some ear!
