Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Wellfed, I have no difficulty believing you are perceiving a great system improvement since you deployed the CLC.

Geoffkait, do not deceive yourself, you are creating no flames. . . it's just smoke. And I am not inhaling it.

Entirely your choice Geoffkait, I have no problem putting out good money for reasonably priced products based on mainstream science and technology, and whose principles of operation conform to it. I am even willing to stretch my credulity a little... 
EMM Labs vs. Esoteric X-01
David, if you want to hear that X-01 bass performing a feat of magic on stage, presence, authority, pitch, image delicacy, harmonic richness and complexity, and just sheer musicality, , try the redbook of Edgar Meyer playing Bach's cello suite No....

Theaudiotweak, the beauty of endpins--Titanium Carbon Fiber, steel, metal ceramics, cardboard, or prestressed anchovies--is that their effect is largely measurable. One may like the effect they have on the sound of an instrument, one may not. Thei...

Theaudiotweak, I believe you about the wood of the cello having a temporary mechanical memory. Yet I do not believe we need to invoke the 4th dymention and the pangalactic sisterhood of Mother Gaya and all living planets quite yet. The poor cello ... 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
Bingo Jafox:The AAP type of influenza virus, also called avian AudioPhile's flu virus, is the type most likely to cause epidemics and pandemics among audiophile populations. This is because the influenza AAP virus can undergo antigenic shift durin... 
EMM Labs vs. Esoteric X-01
Fcrowder, have you tried to move the X-01 to the bottom of your stand? That may further improve device stability and sound. Any stand works as an inverted pendulum, with maximum possible swing at its top.

Theaudiotweak, no musical instrument I know of has ever been influenced by something I can stick in my pocket. Acoustic grounding of a string instrument through tail pieces, end pins, chin rests of differing designs and materials is another kettle...

Stan, your total inability of saying anything useful and even remotely constructive is truly amazing. Now tell us. . . are you suffering from a genetic disorder? Or is it contageous? Should we be concerned or are we safe? Is it related to Bird Flue? 
EMM Labs vs. Esoteric X-01
Deshapiro, X-01 + Ref 3 is a fab combination. . . my own Ref 3 is being broken in as we speak and may be hopping over the 100 hrs mark as I am writing this note. It is worth pointing out that Teac America also pairs the ARC Ref 3 with the X-01 in ...

Zaikesman, it looks like H. C. Andersen's Chorea is alive and well at PFO. I noticed with delight that the CLC article claims the effect of the CLC is not on the equipment, but on the listener, now that is truly delish! The olde Emperor in Anderse...

JAFOX, several weeks past since the audition at CMO's place, so some details are turning fuzzy (or should I say 'Aqueous'?). I could easily switch the Cardas Golden Cross and the Purist Venusta around in my ranking. Overall the Venusta sounded mor...

No danger of that Joey, Audio Usmatics has patented a quantum cryo treatment for audiophile-grade ripen cheese and salted anchovy products that freezes the material only in the 4th and 5th dymention using hard shunted Neodymium ultramagnets anodiz... 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
I was part of the auditioning gang at CMO's place and will corroborate his findings on Aqueous. My personal descending order of preference as follows: 1: AQ Sky by a significant margin, 2: Cardas Golden Cross, 3: Purist Venusta, 4: Purist Aqueous ...
