Default Improve CD sound quality

http://www.machinadynamica.com/machina27.htm

Machina Dynamica now carries the amazing Intelligent Chip, an emerging technology device that improves CD sound quality in the blink of an eye. The Intelligent Chip is a thin, 1-inch square orange wafer that automatically upgrades any CD/DVD/SACD disc when the Chip is placed momentarily on the top surface of the player while the disc is playing. The sound of the upgraded disc more closely resembles the sound of the orginal master recording, with less congestion, more information, greater dynamic range and more air. The disc upgrade is virtually instantaneous - and is permanent. The Intelligent Chip is available in two models - the GSIC-10 ($16) upgrades 10 discs; the GSIC-30 ($40) upgrades 30 discs.

Description/Theory: The Intelligent Chip corrects a relatively obscure but important problem inherent in all commercial discs; this problem is one reason commercial discs frequently "don't sound quite right," sounding amemic, overly bright or tinny. The disc upgrade is permanent and the upgraded disc will sound better even when played on other machines.

Instructions: Remove the orange Intelligent Chip from its clear plastic protective case and place it on top of the CD/DVD/SACD player directly above the transport section, silver label facing up. Next, insert the disc to be upgraded in the player and push "Play" and allow the disc to play for 2 seconds. The Chip can also be placed on top of the player while the disc is playing with similar results. The upgrade takes less than 2 seconds and is permanent. Once the disc is upgraded, either remove the Intelligent Chip from the player and return it to its protective case or leave it on top of the player and insert the next disc to be upgraded into the player; discs may be upgraded sequentially, at one time, with the Chip in place on the top of the player. If left on top of the player, the Chip will not function until the next disc to be upgraded is inserted in the player and played. If you attempt to upgrade a disc that has already been upgraded, the Chip will "sense" that the disc is already upgraded and spend no energy on it, thus avoiding using the Chip unnecessarily. Always store the Chip in its protective case, well away from the player.

NOTES: The Chip should always be stored in its protective case well away from the digital player, otherwise it may lose its effectiveness over time. It is also suggested that the Chip be used in a timely manner to avoid the possibility of loss of effectiveness. Note: It is helpful to mark the Chip and the disc each time a disc is upgraded. The GSIC-10 is good for 10 discs, the GSIC-30 for 30 discs. Once the Intelligent Chip has upgraded the prescribed number of discs it ceases to function and can be discarded.

this makes me want to stab an ice pick into the area of my brain that allows me to use common sense so I might be able to understand how anyone could be that freaking stupid.

Default Better CD sound

OH MY GOD!!! That is right up there with the green marker thing the did a few years back. They made this marker that if you colored the outside edge of your discs they would sound better. The only thing it did was make your hands turn green from touching the disc.
