You all will not believe this but check this out.
I am a doctoral physics student and when i came accross these clocks for the first time i just blew it off as B.S. but i got to thinking about it. I had just been reading an excellent article on the trans-metral implications of Shastkovski's theorem. There really could be some basis on this (the effect of the clocks on aural sensation) if you examine it using the string-theory interpretation. (you have to use the 11 dimensional manifold for it to really make sense)
I went down to my local Pamida and bought two travel alarm clocks, different brands. I then went to office depot and bought a pack of round orange stickers. In my home laboratory i carefully washed the clocks with lab-grade ethanol and then placed the two clocks on a properly grounded ESD mat. I then bathed the clocks in de-ionized air for about an hour. (27 deg C) Then, using a pair of stainless steel tweezers (i store these in ethanol) i carefully removed two of the round orange stickers from the sheets they are affixed to in the package.
I have a light grid that i can project onto a work surface - makes it easy to center stuff although the shadows are annoying. (edmund sells them) I carefully centered the stickers on the LCD displays of the clocks and then inserted the batteries. (stock batteries that came with the clocks).
I did not set the time or make any other adjustments.
I have two audiophile friends that have some serious systems. Just to give you an idea, one uses a MacIntosh for a power amp the other a pair of Dynaco's. We tried out my "clocks" and you would not believe the improvement in the listening experience. The sense of space, the clarity of vocal renderings was unreal. You could actually feel the vibration in Pavarotti's throat! It was like he was there in the room breathing.
I won't go into detail just yet but there is a conceiveable reaction between the metallic atoms in the ink of the paper (that's why they need to be orange) and the ground plane of the circuit board in the clock. This experiment seems to prove it out. Too bad i already have a thesis in place but this could be one of my first publications.
Try it! You will not be disappointed!
