In Reply to: Flame On: My Experience with Clever Clocks and Magic Pebbles posted by Quint on November 4, 2005 at 19:52:12:
I too expected many flames, but they seem subdued.I still have the original clocks, the EAU-1, as well as one of the RS clocks from which it was made. I bought it to see if it gave the same improvement. It did not. Later Tice copied it. I must say that I would personally have to hear the improvement to buy the Clever Clock.
I did hear such an improvement at CES with the Intellegent Chip and for the Murata Supertweeters. While the Ultra-high frequency tweeters and the Magic Pebbles were in the room where I heard the IC demo, they were not demonstrated. I did not buy them either, lacking such a demonstration. A friend did, however, and still likes what they did for his system.
I did boldly go where no one should go and auditioned the Halcyonic active isolation base. I tried it under my universal player and under my turntable. After doing that I bought two of them. I guess that kind of ends any of my experimentation for some time.
