    The link promising a review in Soundstage actually directs you to a review of an Aurum Acoustics Integris CDP CD Player/Preamplifier. Odd:confused:

    Other than that.... I'll go with...

    let me see....

    ummm..


    Too legit?
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Exactly. Too legit to quit. I just put my 1980's Casio G-Shock watch on top of my bedside clock/radio and it improved the sound 16%! I'm thinking of proping it up on a set of 5 SC Risers for maximum sonic improvment! With an upgraded power cord, I should be able to take it to the next level:D

    And if you perform all critical listening sessions while wearing Hammer pants, you can raise that to over 36% improvement!!!

    I wonder if Signal Cables is going to start selling these? Maybe throw in a couple of cable risers with the purchase of each clock.

    Seen it all before. Maybe 5 or 10 years ago, the same claim was being made about a Micronta digital clock available at Rat Shack.

    That company is based in Virginia and I've met the owner. One conversation with him and you'll think you're on Pluto. They define the term, Snake Oil.

    Actually, the one cool thing from Machina Dynamica, and you have to see one in person, is the Nimbus Sub-Hertz Platform. It's really really neat.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
