Geoff, :)
Machina Dynamica
Does anyone take the products that Machina Dynamica sells. There is a bell for sale here where you are supposed to ring it in different rooms throughout the house. What does that have to do with audio?

"Team America" is a hilarious movie! Much like our friend GEoff! Two standout scenes I recall: 1) The "Ronery" SOng 2) The puppets getting it on Of course its by the guy behind SOuth Park, so do not expect any holds barred or political correctness! My apologies to any who might find the stereotyping there offensive. If you can't handle Cartman from South Park, this movie is not for you. |
"1166 sales. (2) neutral feedbacks. All the rest positive." I've seen that. It is an interesting metric to consider! The only thing I could say with certainty about it is its surely a part of how MD stays in business. Also that it probably has a lot to do with what people think about their purchase and what people think does not always match the facts. I've bought a lot of useless crap over the years, especially when younger, and had no complaints except perhaps much later in hindsight. Just saying.... |
I don't own any Machina Dynamica products. But, I have no problem with the seller. Let me explain. 1166 sales. (2) neutral feedbacks. All the rest positive. Check out Vpatel on Audiogon: 386 sales. (2) neutral feedbacks. (9) negatives - many on big ticket items. See if you can guess which seller I'll never buy from? |
Geoff,You can wrap it up any way you like.But,,,its just so hard not to make fun of MD.Little copper flying saucers taped to your window !Sometimes I feel bad that I make fun of your products.But everytime I see an ad like the flying saucers(or clocks,pebbles,,,)I dont feel bad.Sorry.But even the best joke gets stale after a while.So until you come up with a new product ,I am going to try to stop laughing at MD. |
Geoff, may be feeling beat up on and Ronery . |
Have any of you tried these Machina Dynamica "products"? I haven't followed this thread too fully, but I always say the proof of the pudding is in the eating. You can theorise all day long but until someone has given it a go its all hot air isn't it? Maybe I will give one a shot and report back. Then once and for all we can say if there is something in it or not. I am not a fan of all talk and no trousers. |
Actually I think his alter ego is Narcissus. But he seems to be careful not to stare into the pool for too long. Hindsight is 20/20 after all. My goodness, could it be that Geoff is Dr. Smith's mentor?!!! I believe we've come full circle. Batten down the hatches; Poseidon is about to take us on a serious dive into the abyss! |
Too funny,Geoff got cosmonium from his mentor Dr.Smith,,who was scammed,,,, called them brilliant pebbles and offers to sell them (and many other interesting items)to Audiophiles on Earth! Robot"Danger Earthlings Danger!" Geoffs first product ,The Nimbus Unipivot Sub-Hertz Isolation Platform.The Nimbus was so tricky to construct and set-up ,that it was virtually impossible to duplicate! Went from the Nimbus to cutting pieces of copper foil into simple shapes he calls ,,flying saucers.OK! |
Csontos wrote, "For the record Geoff, I rely on feedback from the general population in regards to the performance of the audio products I make decisions on." Interesting. So it sounds like you wish to progress no further than the general population. That's not very adventuresome. :-) Csontos also wrote, "I have never read or owned an audio mag." Ah, I see, you mistrust reviewers and trust the general population. :-) |
For the record Geoff, I rely on feedback from the general population in regards to the performance of the audio products I make decisions on. I have never read or owned an audio mag. Not sure what you mean by Peer Review/ validation process but if you consider sane common sensical opinions on the so-called tweaks your peddling to be a conservative choke-hold on the progress and betterment of our hobby, then I suppose we're in for some really fabulous technological breakthroughs thanks to MD in about fifty years. Imagine taking the lid off your hi-end amp and finding nothing but a box full of rocks. Amazing! Or maybe a tiny orchestra of bumble-bees humming out a tune. I can just see it now; Bedrock will by then be a veritable metropolis with all the advancements you could expect from a burgeoning little stone-age town. Fred and Barney busting with pride. BTW, you did use the Flintstones to come up with your ideas, didn't you? Come on, tell the truth. |
Raytheprinter wrote, "Geoff,This thread is not about the products you have mentioned. Stereo5 asked about Machina Dynamica products." Machina Dynamica, a brief history. My web site was initially set up and designed by Dr. Thomas Slivinski, the first PhD in Computer Science from U. Of Illinois, Urbana, and one of the designers of the advanced computer at Urbana that became the model for HAL 9000 in the movie, 2001- A Space Odyssey. Machina Dynamica started out with one product, the Nimbus Unipivot Sub-Hertz Isolation Platform, a 6-degree-of-freedom isolation stand that debuted at CES in the Mapleshade/Gallo room. The Nimbus was so tricky to construct and set up that it was virtually impossible to duplicate. Hardened steel spring-based Promethean Base replaced Nimbus five years later. About that time I discovered crystals and produced the world's first comprehensive crystal-based audio product - Brilliant Pebbles, named after the Star Wars weapon system. Next there was a turquoise scattered laser light absorber for CD and a yellow one for Blu Ray. Then a few things that go bump in the night - extensively treated clocks, improving systems over the telephone, quantum chips with synthetic atoms, things of that nature. Machina Dynamica's copper foils for windows and the Pretzel Logic Reef Knot Device for audio and non-audio cables are the latest products. I am also the only dealer for Princeton University and International Consciousness Research Laboratories' The Mind Lamp - an color-changing ambient light device the color pattern of which is influenced by human thought. |

Are you seriously putting your things on the same playing field? I don't hear anyone else but you doing so." I hate to judge before all the facts are in, but it appears you might be having a reading comprehension moment as I was using the SteinMusic Harmonizer, et al as examples of controversial, or at least unconventional, audio tweaks that have NOT been peer reviewed or validated, I mean other than the usual audio magazine review, which I'm assuming you Ãber Skeptics don't count as peer review or validation. I provided this list of audio devices in response to a demand from Csontos for peer review, validation and more complete evidence of my products. Csontos being an excellent example of someone who actually believes high end audio products undergo some sort of Peer Review or validation process. Follow? |
