Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?

Or to put it metaphorically, of all the loyal subjects who claimed they saw the Emperor's New Clothes, how many thought them unstylish?

Zaikesman, although it is obviously not done in medical research, were you to tell people that this medicine is worthless or will harm you slightly the real and the placebo would both have harmful no effects or harmful effects. Since the Hawthorne Electric studies we have known that there are conditional effects on people. DBTs are very artificial or not isomorphic to reality. As such you cannot generalize to other circumstances, but here we are merely dealing with whether someone is willing to put money into a product. Some will and some will not. If very few buy the CLC, it will die. If many like what they buy and convince others, it will prosper. Hopefully most will not broadly accept the DBT results.

Has anyone done a true blind test - where someone else removes or inserts the CLC in your house? If you can reliably determine whether the CLC is anywhere in the house this would provide remarkable evidence for some totally unknown natural phenomenon. I have to confess that I find the concept so improbable that insanity seems like the more likely explanation - but if people can reliably detect its presence in blind tests I'd happily eat my words and order one.

Given the dramatic nature of the claims for the CLC (per the Positive Feedback review) it should be fairly easy to show that it works in a true blind test. It's also an incredibly easy test to do - no need to mess with interconnects or move speakers or amps around.

Yes. Hi-end audio insanity.
