You're too funny!
The comparison would have to be between a CD allegedly modified by the Intelligent Chip and one without the Intelligent Chip. Modified or not, show that it makes an audible difference.

You're kidding, right? The Amazing Randi is a has been Vegas magician. Why would he give two hoots about what audiophiles can or cannot hear? I mean, basically his Foundation was strictly going after spoon benders and dowsers. He was just using audiophiles because they were convenient and made good copy.

None of that has anything to do with the test protocols. The motives and beliefs of the participants and testers are irrelevant to the validity of a good blind test.

But it's not a good blind test. It's a rigged blind test.. Hel-loo!
Really? Why do you say that? Are the rules not clear?

The rules were very clear. Obviously nobody would be able to pass such tests. I was privy to the goings on at the James Randi Education (as it were) Foundation regarding the test protocol for the Intelligent Chip so I have the inside scoop. The whole audiophile blind test thing is ridiculous on so many levels. It's all extremely hilarious and was a brainstorm on the part of Randi to go after unsuspecting audiophiles like he went after spoon benders. Johnny Carson would be proud.
Carson would be proud as he gave the Foundation $400000.
Did Carson have something against spoon benders and dowsers, too? Was Carson also an audiophobe? Will Penn and Teller be taking over from Randi?
