What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock?


Just my uninformed and untested opinion, and maybe I am wrong, but this Clever Little Clock sounds more like a Clever Little CROCK to me. Any true believers are welcome to enlighten me, but don't expect me to whip out the credit card just yet. Don't mean to "tick" anyone off. Note: sarcastic skeptical scoffers are also very welcome to post to this thread. :)

An the other hand I heard a details an Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon, song " Time " that I never heard before or may be just another clock.
Do not wish to add to the sarcasm I have ligitimate curiosity but I simply cannot take serious a Tweak like the "Teleportation" thing.
Somebody calls you (on the phone) and makes your listenning environment better by just doing some stuff . . . .
When I asked the gentleman of Machina Dynamica (Geoff)if he would offer money back if not satisfied he said that no way nad he suggested that if i wanted an explanation which I did; about why the Teleportaion tweak worked it was probably too envolved to explain. I told him that sounds like a con man answer, he went off to tell me to keep my idiotic opinions to myself . . wow what a load . . .

Guys I have been an audiophile and music lover before I knew I was one, electronics Engineering with degree in acoustics and sudio has been my life's devotion to tweak and upgrade but everything has an explanation, if soft legs or if cones underneath the equipment, or cables everything has to have a reason for you to 'spend the money"" unless you are a born millionaire or a State lottery winner of sorts, and you don't care about the $ you spend.

I see there is so much controversy about these products.

And we are asked to accept his word that it works but . . no money back guarrantee if it does not.
I',m telling you this gentleman is very lucky here in the US that we have so many curious people willing to shell out the $$ before they see results I do believe in Europe or SOuth Amercia or even Asia he will be so quickly out of luck is not even funny. . .
Pebbles on top of speakers, magic CLocks, mysterious teleportation tweaks over the phone?
I would'nt mind paying for all of them that work but I need proof before I pay for them that's when a money back guarrantee becomes not an issue of faith, I already go to my Church and support my Pastor I cna;t faith on this things of man.
I want to believe, but also I have seen too many pebbles being sold on E-abay and AUdiogon . . . very suspicious.
I do have metal cones and wood blocks thta I owned for many years.
In fact I discovered the beauties of wood blocks when I was 15 years old by accident mostly, I was putting my reference then Marantz Receiver atop a small side table and needed to support the receiver the legs were too far apart for the table so with wooden blocks I discover how myuch better thsi thing sounded but kept it to myself I was affraid people calling me crazy . . ..

Just doesn't ring true to my ears until I try them maybe i will change my mind once I hear the difference and spend more money on other tweaks of the similar nature.
I do read so many reviews of peoplr that swear by those tweaks that's were I become curious and willing to try with an open mind and willing to embrace what I don't understand. . but I have to se or hear the difference though . .. . otherwise I becoem just anotyher self diluted consumer with a bvery short happy time?
I hope sincerely that's not what we're all about . . .

Take care;

People hear a difference only because they WANT to hear one. The power of suggestion can do weird things. Get the tweak, then sit back, and listen to your system, but now you're listening for a change that you actually think is going to be there, and with that intent, you hear a change. Ever try that on a friend? Don't change a thing, but tell him you did, and ask if he can hear how much better it sounds? He says he hears it! Power of suggestion. I bought the Teleportation Tweak because I didn't want to fork out the money on the clock. I called the number, and after a some slapping sounds in the background, the tweak was transported. I was amazed at how much better my system sounded. But after awhile I realized nothing changed. I wanted it to sound better, and it did. Maybe I was just listening more intently, or just wanted to hear a change. I knew better, but I still wanted to see just what everyone was hearing. They were hearing what they wanted to hear.
Abucktwoeighty,

I agree there is probably some truth to hearing something cause you want to hear something, but on the other hand things like this can work.

As for the clock, I proved it worked. If you go read in tech talk "does anyone sharpie cd's" I explained how I proved that this thing does work and it was not because I wanted it to.

I made a bet to anyone that they could move a clock in and out of my house and would prove perfect that I knew where it was. Guess what, no one took me up cause I believe they know I would always guess right its location.
“I explained how I proved that this thing does work and it was not because I wanted it to.”

So funny. Freemand, you guessing where your wife places little clocks does not constitute proof that the clocks work. You merely demonstrating an overactive imagination.

Little clocks cannot affect sound – they do not affect the power line supplies, vibration, temperature, airborne noise, RFI (and EMI) or acoustics. That I can prove by measuring lack of changes in above.

I can however, prove that items such acoustic panels, cables, interconnects do effect sound. I do that by measuring and I can (many times) hear the effect also.

There is no black magic in audio, everything that effect sound has a 100% rational explanation.
