Here's something that will make Home Theater and Music much more enjoyable, Two Clever Little Clocks from www.machinadynamica.com You can get these clocks cheaper over on www.audiogon.com in the Tweak site there $125.00 each. They have a thread on these clocks here http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1138572451&read&3&4&

Umm say what? How can a clock that isn't hooked into the audio system do anything for the sound of the system?

This is a joke right?

Or perhaps you just like the style of the clock?

No, this is no Joke! I really do not know how or why it works, I just enjoy music alot better when the clocks are in the room. I know this sounds real crazy but this product really does work. Its the best tweak I have ever tried, its like getting a speaker upgrade! When I first heard about these clocks over on the audiogon forum I thought they were all nuts!! until I tried them out for myself....I'm a BELIEVER now!

I try to keep an open mind when encountering new technology, but I think even if you'd lifted off the top of my skull I still would have had a hard time going along with this statement...
I think I'll leave my credit card in my wallet for this one.

Is it April 1 already?

You get better sound with two clocks in the room than just one, I have my two clocks on a long shelf behide my couch facing each speaker....WOW! These clocks improves Video too.

Looks like they really cleaned your clocks too. Now that's service!

Personally, I get better results with a garden gnome. I had to try 3 different varieties of gnome until I settled on the oxygen free cow dung model put out by Monster. They're not THX certified, but they'll have to pry this dung from my cold dead hands...

LOL, you should sell those garden gnomes on eBay Ritz.

From www.machinadynamica.com/machina41.htm OK folks, I knew you were waiting for this, so I'm going to tell you why these work.

It has to do with psycho-acoustics. Since, according to their web site, this item has no influence over the signal, components or acoustics, then, if it has any effect, it must be in the psycho realm.

So the reason this works for some people is that:

Some people will believe anything.

I used to use two of these in my theater but I felt the sound was too bright, actually a touch on the brittle side to the point where it gave me a headache. I ended up messing around with my two Clever Little Clocks and found that tilting one of them to a 37.2 degree angle hidden deep inside my guest bedroom closet and the other one smashed, burned and put on my downstairs mantle in an urn, I get the sound that is the most rewarding. Crystal clear highs, endless dynamics and slam like you wouldn't believe. Trust me, DO NOT GIVE UP ON THESE! PLACEMENT is EVERYTHING!!!
I wish I knew they had different styles to choose between when I ordered mine.
