Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?

BTW, I sent my CLC, a picture of me when I was young, and a recent picture of me away to be cyrogentically treated. I am now invisible.

Audioaril, I am a bit confused. After following this thread for some time, I thought you were an advocate of the differences the CLC would make. Then, you seem to switch camps and say that most tweeks don't work or can't be heard? It seems to me that the evidence/explanation for power cords making a difference makes more sense than the CLC.

On the issue of challenges, I wouldn't take one that compares RCA connectors, but I'm pretty confident about the power cord challenge. Were do you live as I may very well take you up on the $10,000/$1000 challenge.

I already said I was willing to take the challenge. I'm confident of a difference in my power cord choice over a stock cord and the ability to choose it in my system or a system of its calibre. Since you have no system listed, I would want to know that I am not taking this challenge on a Radio Shack receiver driving Bose 901's. (no flames please) I would also like to know who will be the uninterested party that would hold the money and conduct the test. You already changed the rules from "I'll give anyone $10,000" to "it should cost you $1000 if you lose."

Post the rules, system, and test, so that a educated decision can be made.

Sorry for the delay. I will do the challenge. I'm glad that puremusic brought some issues forward that I was going to request. The only other requirements that I have are:

1) I will bring two power cords that will be used on the CD player and preamp.
2) They will be changed at the same time (when changed) between stock cords.
3) No power conditioning or surge suppressors will be used.
4) I will be bringing someone to watch the test.

The only other issue is that I am on the road and my schedule is set. I will be traveling to the New Jersey area next month and would be willing to meet at an audio store in the state. I prefer not to go into the NYC area.
