Clever Little Clock is a digital clock which when placed upon your audio or video equipment improves the quality substantially.
It is, in effect, a Casio travel clock, available for under $10, with a sticker on it, and sells for about $300.
I can immediately say it will have an effect. It will massively improve the audio quality of your system. Just don't expect your friends to notice. After all, if you've spend $300, you're going to hear the difference, if only in the fact that you sit a little lower on your couch because your wallet is noticeably thinner.
The explanation of how it works is hilarious! I mean, honestly...
"The Clever Little Clock addresses an esoteric but fundamental problem that occurs when playing [...] the observer is confronted - subconsciously - by time coordinates that are different from the Present Time coordinates he's been using his entire life to time-stamp sensory information. What are these interfering time coordinates, where do they come from and why are they a problem? The alien time coordinates are contained in the recording (or videotape). The time coordinates (of what was then Present Time) of the recorded performance, millisecond by millisecond, are captured inadvertently along with the acoustic information. When a recording is played, the time coordinates from the recording session (which are now Past Time coordinates) are reproduced by the speakers along with the acoustic signals of the recorded event. Those Past Time signals become entangled, integrated in the listener's mind with Present Time signals. Because the listener is accustomed to using Present Time signals to synchronize his chronological memory, he subconsciously perceives the confusing, interloping Past Time signals as a threat. This perceived threat produces the fight-or-flight response, which in turn degrades his sensory capabilities. The reason that live television broadcasts, like the Superbowl and the 2010 Olympics, are generally observed to have superior audio and video compared to taped broadcasts is that they don't contain Past Time signals, only Present Time ones."
I swear the people who wrote this must have been laughing off their chair. No reasonable person can believe this. Right? Please tell me I'm right. I might have lost hope in humanity for the fifth time today after seeing some of these products.
Now the CD player and the tube amp, those are somewhat reasonable products. I must comment that the CD player uses a VFD display. Surely this will be adding interference from its AC filament voltage?
Oh no, there's some microcontroller in there, adding "digital murkiness" or whatever it is.
But then... we get onto speaker stands... power cords... a CD cleaner... a CD demagnetiser (what??)... and a digital clock with a sticker on it...
