Am I missing something?

I agree with Nsgarch.

I don't believe that battery powered clock could provide any improvement in an audio system other than letting you know how long you've been listening.

There was a "plug in" clock sold by Tice some years ago. Tice also built power conditioning products, the most famous were the Power Block and Titan.

After all the overblown claims for the Tice clock, an engineer friend of mine took one apart and discovered it had a similar (but lesser) effect than Quiet Lines. Basically it was a clock with a cap and resistor that loaded the AC line, providing a small amount of noise reduction.

I find the Quiet Line filters to be more effective, especially if you use enough of them.

Wellfed,

Can you imagine the disappointment and suffering of the postman?

For the very first time, the radio in his delivery truck was delivering great sound ! Then after the Clever Little Clock was put in the hands of the rightful owner.......... crap sound.

Poor guy, never even knew what hit him.
