What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock?


Just my uninformed and untested opinion, and maybe I am wrong, but this Clever Little Clock sounds more like a Clever Little CROCK to me. Any true believers are welcome to enlighten me, but don't expect me to whip out the credit card just yet. Don't mean to "tick" anyone off. Note: sarcastic skeptical scoffers are also very welcome to post to this thread. :)

Freemand...25 correct answers in a row does sound like you are the man. The only thing more convincing would have been 26 out of 26. Have you ever considered the possibility that you might be a savant? You might think about changing your username to Rain Man.
Freemand, I simply don't believe you.

And no, I have no intention of coming to your house for a demonstration.

I can go to Las Vegas and see David Copperfield for much less.
Freemand, do you mind expanding - what did your sound sound like when the clock was, lets say, in the bathroom as opposed to your kitchen?

What artifact in the sound that you heard from your audio system made you know the clock was in the kitchen rather than the bathroom - more detail, more dynamics, better soundstage?

thanks

Actually, considering that Geoff told me that the clock had to be outside the house for it no longer to be effective, I'd be curious to know how the sound would change with the clock in various places in the house. FWIW, I did not hear any effect of the clock, both during our NJSO "scientific" test of its effect a couple of years ago and my experimentation before and after that meeting.
Agreed RC. I appreciate your candidness and I strongly suspect you will never hear the effects of the clock.

But if you read between the lines what Freemand is stating, he seems to be claiming that not only can he recognize from artifacts in his sound system where the clock is, but he was able to do so the very first time the clock was placed in a room! How would that be possible?

As an analogy, it like saying I can identify between Grey Goose, Absolut and Skyy in a blind test without ever having tasted them before. That is simply not plausible. One would need to associate the taste with the brand before one can identify them in a blind test. (And in my analogy, there is an actual difference in taste between the brands.)

Freemand claims to have made an association before he had ever heard it. Clearly Freemand is embellishing, and at that, not doing a particular good job at it.

I find it rather sad that when some folks get taken for a ride like he has been, they feel a need to save face, and then engage in perpetrating the same fraud upon others.
