Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?

"The company offers a 30-day in home trial......if the consumer believes the clock does not improve the sound of their system they can return it for a full refund."

As a potential consumer, I'll always place the burden of proof of product efficacy squarely on the shoulders of the MANUFACTURER--period. I refuse to perform an empirical test (at my OWN expense, no less!) on a product with no logically discernible mechanism of action, despite any assertions by the manufacturer about quantum mechanics. Others, including Bigjoe, have expressed similar sentiments. I was willing to test the Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers because they at least presented a plausible explanation of how they might work. (Dakiom also covers return shipping, by the way.)

It's asking a lot for the consumer to make a faith-based internet purchase of a device that doesn't physically connect to the audio circuit; has no discernible mechanism of action; and for which the manufacturer steadfastly refuses to give any real plausible explanation. Also, unlike Dakiom, Machina Dynamica doesn't cover return shipping.

I can't prove that the device doesn't work, but I'm also unwilling to pay my MONEY to get the thing, then spend my TIME and EFFORT testing it to see if it works, then (if it fails) spend my time to package it for return shipping, and my money for the shipping costs. I'm willing to keep an open mind, but my money, time and patience are all limited. Therefore, my answer to that proposition is as follows: NO!

Well said, Bill.

Bill, you missed my post above. The manufacturer does give an explanation over the phone if you call them, but he will not reveal it in print because the explanation is difficult for some people to accept. Here again is an explanation of how the device works:

The CLC is a time travel device. It minimizes the time difference between the time captured on the recording and the current time. This ads realism to the music.

Because this device functions as a sort of a time travel apparatus it is not necessary to connect to the audio circuit. It has entirely to do with shortening the distance between time events.

Well said, Bill.

And quite reasonable too as applied to one's discretion on whether or not to invest time and money on the evaluation of any given product.

Eldartford,

I havn't seen where Zaikesman, or anyone else, has established that the Clever Little Clock runs counter to all laws of science. And for that matter, has science ever truly established itself as the final authority on reality? In real terms it's obvious that it hasn't, in legal terms—I wouldn't know. Obviously a standard of some sort must exist in order to warrant judgment, but science? One would also think that any legitimate legal system must have as its requirement, real victims in order to establish fraudulent practice. Since this product carries a money-back guaranty, where could such victims be found?

Audioari1,

Time travel??? PLEASE explain.
