Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?

I think our members are clocked out, but I think I'll probably do something to take the clock in and out without anyone knowing and see if anyone notices. We've got a speaker manufacturer demoing and I don't want to steal his spotlight. I have done the test sighted with two of our members, neither of whom heard a difference but both of whom were quite skeptical about such a device, to put it mildly.

Rcprince, heard a difference or heard an improvement?

Tbg, the two who took the sighted test heard no difference with the clock in or out of the house. In the NJAS test, I as the tester was the only one who knew when the clock was in or out of the system, and asked people to tell me if there was a change, not whether there was an improvement or not, though several members did put down their subjective impressions of any change they heard.

In both of these tests, there was a definite negative bias against the clock making a difference, though people were asked to keep an open mind. A far better test would be where a single subject is alone in a room listening to music and asked to tell if there were any difference in the sound of the system from time to time without knowing what was being tested or changed, if anything, in the system.

Rcprince, is there a lingering presence of the CLC? How did you deal with this? As I understand it, this was why there was no demonstration at CES. I had hoped there would be.

What a surprise! Anybody else as stunned as me regarding this outcome?
