What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock?

... I had just been reading an excellent article on the trans-metral implications of Shastkovski's theorem.

Nice trolling, mate. Searching for Shastkovski on Google has no result.

Regards,

Shastkovski was a Belo-Russian brought up in Estonia. His original paper that was cited in the article was written while he was incarcerated on the Kolya peninsula. His work is based on work first pioneered by Nikola Tesla in his later years. String theory had not been discovered when the original paper was written, however applications of string theory to his work have yielded very interesting results.

As to this being my first post - true - i was drawn to this site by discussion of the clocks. Affording great audio equipment is still a few years in my future, but i can't wait! For now i have to live with my Bose wave radio/cd. I expect as i become more familiar with the site i will be posting more.

I admit my "experiment" was far from scientific in execution but the results were phenomenal. I will also admit that my friends had heard of these clocks and when i presented my clocks to them (as early christmas presents) i misrepresented to my friends that they were "originals". They were even more astounded when i revealed the truth.

What i'm really getting at is that you can make these clocks yourself and they really work!

I would be all over it, but I lack the means to "bathe them in de-ionized air," as you suggest. Oh well. I guess that's why people pay Geoff Kait the big bucks.

My friends have done some further trials and found that while the de-ionized air adds just that extra bit of piquancy to the sound is is not strictly necessary as long as the sticker is applied directly after removing the unit from it's manufacturing package. The plastic protective sticker that the manufacturer put on the display should be removed slowly to help minimize any triboelectric charge that would build up on the surface of the display. They have also found that possibly green stickers will work even better than the orange ones. Do not use blue or red however.
The air de-ionizer is standard equipment for any ESD controlled workstation when you are working with sensitive circuitry. I borrowed mine from the university. (the research grant paid for it)
