Currawong Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 First time I heard about the TICE too. We used to have a few Micronta alarm clocks in the house when I was young. Maybe that's why my father's hi-fi systems sounded so good back then. The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment

Just because of that nobody should ever encourage this company by buying any of its products, ever. It's just not proper and that is hall. Sound Matters Link to comment

And they aren't going to be "exposed" and run out of business. I'm sure most of their customers don't frequent this site.

We'll get to the bottom of the wells and use that water to make Mars habitable. Oh, you mean to tell me that they made whopping $40 per unit at one point? Gosh, and with the 1000 units they possibly sold, that might pay for their rebranding and packaging efforts. How dare them try to make a profit off of selling something to someone. The thing is, that preamp board may have been intended to be an OEM sorta thing. Perhaps they have vinyl on Mars? Save some of that water to clean the records.

gmgraves Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 On 3/2/2019 at 5:47 AM, The Computer Audiophile said: I hadn’t! Seems like I was the only one. No, I recall it. George Tice took, what was in essence , a Radio Shack digital clock and "treated" it (cryogenically IIRC). His claim was that the treated clock, when plugged into the same breaker circuit as one's audio system, would miraculously clean-up a dirty mains supply. One of the audio societies (Boston?) took a Tice clock and the same model untreated Radio Shack clock and with a large listening group, blindly tried the audio system with nothing else plugged into the system, then with the Tice clock plugged in and then with the off-the-shelf Radio Shack clock and none of the assembled listeners heard any difference between any of the them! IOW, the clocks did nothing, either positive or negative. George Link to comment

I was only humorous about all this Martian affair. ...Music Hall little gadget. It's a little thing compared to the grand scale of the affairs worldwide. Lexicon was funnier when they put an Oppo 83 in their box. Still, it's not very inventive. It rings Chinese imitation. Sound Matters Link to comment
