George was dismissed by the press when he released the Tice Clock. 90% of George problems with the press wasn't the quality of his products, but rather his attitude. Those who know George knew he was a little stuck on himself, whereas Fran was put out there to be the voice of the business.The Tice Clock should be considered the first audiophile parallel filter. What George found, but refused to tell people, was he discovered small appliances leak...how about those apples....and sometimes that leakage can have positive effects. The Tice Clock, better known as a everyday alarm clock for that time, leaked using a simple pulse. In digital clock design the pulse is used to count the seconds. Many who have seen the Tice Clock noticed George added the P&S ac plug. We could argue he did it to boost the price of the alarm clock....but what George did not tell you is that he would switch the wiring around at the ac plug to enhance that magnetic build up created by the pulse. Instead of the pulse leaking on the neutral it was now leaking (pulsing) on the hot causing a magnetic build up, or enhanced bass / lower midrange effect.
Follow Ups:
using similar technology include Euphonic Technology (now defunct, and formerly based out of Iowa, IIRC). They were the original discoverer of the effect, and it came as an off shoot of some research to lower EMF fields off of computer monitors. Amanda Toulon was head of that company, and I believe her ex husband discovered the effect.
Currently Quantum uses similar technology in their products.
In essence the products are dithering the AC, helping lowering the random noise patterns present, making it easier for the PS filtering in most products to eliminate it.I still use my EAU and Quantum products and their removal is extremely noticeable, although I do supplement their use with other PLC's also.
> . We could argue he did it to boost the price of the alarm clock....Wasn't it like $295? A bit much for a fancy power cord, no? Maybe if he sold them for the cost of the alarm clock + the cost of the cord + 10%, people would have been a bit less incredulous. What was that whole TPT treatment, anyways?

Wouldn't that be an electrical hazard? It sure wouldn't pass UL testing.
the explanation of how the clock worked or works is the biggest bunch of flim-flam I have ever heard. You're full of it my friend!
