OMFG

Found via a Slashdot comment: these guys claim to have discovered a way to upgrade your audio system remotely, using a specially-crafted set of sounds.

Let me repeat that:

1. You call them up.
2. You pay them SIXTY BUCKS.
3. They beep at you.
4. And magically, your stereo sounds better!

Words fail me.

I think the appropriate thing to do would be call them up and play a sequence of specially-crafted sounds that would KILL THEM.

If you're gonna call them up to play specially crafted sounds, screw killing them and go straight for the brown note.

There are also apparently folks that will do reiki for you over a cell phone. No offense to anyone who does that kind of thing - but ha.

This is almost as good as that product Randi (The Amazing Randi) spent debunking a while ago - you put it near your CD player...

Funny you should mention that - I found it linked off the Slashdot story about Randi.

After looking through the rest of their site, I have come to the conclusion that they are either a joke or a very transparent attempt to get money out of audiophiles. If the latter, it looks like it works, though I doubt any of their products do.

[natbudin]

God, I hope it's a joke. But I somehow doubt it.

[natbudin]

Heh, that's pretty awesome. :)

This gives me an idea: someone should call up these guys and record the sounds. Then they can put them on Youtube, and no longer will people have to pay $60 for their Magical Audio Upgrade (tm)!

Maybe they're intuitive energy readers *g*
