In Reply to: Re: Positive-Feedback Review on the Clever Little Clock...... posted by welly on January 26, 2006 at 03:09:37:
Against my better judgement here... (as suggested by Belt and Machina Dynamica) the Clock does not effect the system, it effects how one responds to it - that is the system's "sound" does not change, only one's reaction to or the perception of the sound it is producing. The Clock effects the listener - the environment, though not in acoustical terms, but how we react to it.
Then your question should be... so your system must have sounded like crap before the clock was inserted... and no it did not. While we liked it before, the insertion of the clock "allowed" us to enjoy it even more (by whatever it "does" to the listener). Its removal only revealed "the changes" that we had become accustomed to with it in the house. Sort of like on a scale of 1-10 - really enjoyed being at 5 because it was so much better than 3, but when we went up to 7 and realized that that was so much better (we got so used to the improvemnt) that dropping it back down to 5 made it sound like crap. Well our reaction(s) to it at least...
Am not so sure the how, why, and/or what the Clock is (actually or literally) doing... the Clock pretty much flies in the face of common sense, logic, what have you (mine at least)... as a matter of fact, we are pretty much on the side of "Gimmie a break"... we are only reporting on our experience. It did work here... why...?
