Worst case I've seen so far in some ways.
Follow Ups:
is compounded because many do not look at possible rational explanations for what Geoff is marketing.
I have, thanks to a friend, a sample of the Clever Little Clock, on loan for the time being. There are several initial observations: one is that it does work, to a certain extent, and two, there are magnets affixed to the front and rear of the clock. Seems to oriented so that the N-S poles are going front to rear.
Curious about this, I fabricated a simple mu metal box to see if the effect waned with a containment of the magnetism. To my surprise, the effect increased. Cutting a smaller rectangle of mu metal and then affixing it front and rear even further enhanced the effect (the magnetism holds the mu metal up). The effect has doubled in scale, seemingly.
I haven't had time to play around further, but that should give a small clue as to what is occurring.
Bear in mind that LCD's are known to generate RF because they do flash, and all digital clocks are conting chips counting down pulses from an oscillator which can produce ultrasonic noise (36kHZ is the usual number I see). Put all those together and then make your conjectures as to the workings.

Is there a specific placement that you heard results? What "effect" did you hear? I still have the CLC in my possession, and I can't hear a lick of difference no matter where i place it (except when covering one ear with it).
I don't think the orange wafer is a magnet. I've read it's a Li battery. I've also read it's nothing but a sticker. Geoff has stated in the past the removal of the orange dot may render the CLC "somewhat less effective but the Clock would remain quite powerful." IMHO, your findings about adding magnets to increase efficacy is purely coincidental or psychoacoustical.
To be sure, it is a weak magnet. I wasn't so sure at first, but when I placed a sheet of mumetal foil next to it, snapped into place. Mind you, my system is in storage, so I am basing my observations on a relatively small LCD set. However I did give somemumetal to the guy who let me borrow the CLC. I listened to his sytems, and the effect was immediate upon adding the mumetal: bigger soundstage, quieter background, better tonalities and harmonic structure.
As for the video, the effect was manifested by better color saturation, and higher black levels: giving the set a more vivid presentation. things like stranding in hair become more apparent.
Note: I did not add any magnets at all. Mumetal is a highly permeable nickel alloy. I have sheets of foil 15 thousandths thick which I use for various experiments and magnetic field channeling.

What strikes me as peculiar is that people who claim to hear differences with the CLC claim that these differences are dramatic and always positive. Basically, what you experienced is an improvement in everything . But for the life of me, neither I nor anyone I know who's tried the CLC can hear any real difference in anything . There was no improvement (or detriment) to my four "resolving" audio systems (nor my headphone system). There was also no improvement in my two HDTV LCD sets or my 8" CRT projector. It did as much as the Brilliant Pebbles did .... which is to say absolutely nothing.
I'm not sure what accounts for this gross disparity in perception. I do have my theories though, of course.
BTW, for anyone doubting I have actually tried the CLC, attached is a photo taken earlier this week of the CLC on top of one of my preamps.
I looked up your system, but I'm not too familiar with most of the components. Are you still using the CV378 in you amp, though?
Stu
Yes, my amp still uses CV378 as regulators.
I'm not sure the CLC could get more 'psychoacoustical'!
.
Stu, have you tried placing it on a window sill?
Cheers, GK
Gasp!
Golly I almost let rudeness get the better of me, Heavens to Betsies what came over me?
No Guru, No Method, No Teacher

I wish you and your good bud the best can get a bit hot I heard;)
Come again?
I believe you're basically an honest person. Tell us, honestly, whether you pay full price for all the stuff you get from Machina Dynamica. Any freebies?
...I've beta tested some products that were either free or discounted. When I want to buy more of any given item I generally pay the prevailing rates, occasionally more. He's been good to me and I believe I've been good to him.
This may well apply to Geoff and Machina Dynamica:
The trick is to judge ourselves if we commit them. Preferably quickly.
You think you know what's happening but you have no idea.

You're right, I don't know the details of what's happening with regard to any transactions or Audiogon related matters that you may be involved in with guskund@yahoo.com but I think you've gone too far with your Teleportation Tweak. If this isn't fraud, I don't know what is:
Gimme a break!
From the Machina Dynamica Website:
"Teleportation Tweak
Long-Distance Audio System Upgrade
"The Teleportation Tweak is the extraordinary new product from Machina Dynamica. The Teleportation Tweak is an advanced communications technique discovered and developed by Machina Dynamica for upgrading audio systems remotely, even over very long distances. The Teleportation Tweak is performed during a phone call to Machina Dynamica; the tweak itself takes about 30 seconds. The call can be made via landline phone or cell phone.
Remarkably, the Teleportation Tweak is independent of distance and signal transmission medium, thus will work anywhere in the world. The "tapping signals" transmitted over the phone will not attenuate even over great distances. So far, the Teleportation Tweak has been successfully demonstrated for distances up to 4000 miles (6500 km). While not absolutely necessary, the customer's audio system can be warmed up prior to the phone call if A/B testing the Teleportation Tweak is desired.
The effects of the Teleportation Tweak are instantaneous and the improvement to the sound will be audible immediately. The Teleportation Tweak excels in layering, texture, inner detail, air and that you-are-there presence of real music. Bonus: The picture quality of any video system will also be improved! The Teleportation Tweak works over landline phone or cell phone. Customer should pay via Paypal or check/MO prior to calling Machina Dynamica. Machina Dynamica's Teleportation Tweak $60.
Allow me to straighten you out. It was the bidder on Audiogon who refused to pay who's the fraud in this matter, not I. He was simply acting like a horse's ass. No skin off my nose. And he was suspended by Audiogon for his action.
There's a lot of things you don't know the details of.
