I have always struggled to explain how I experience the effects of the clock on the sound (you’ll find several examples of poor attempts I posted as @struts001) principally because my left brain can’t wrap itself around the apparent paradox of the presentation being at the same time more focused and more relaxed. However when I met him at the factory @James summed it up with the perfect simile. “It’s like glasses for your ears”.
For me that hits the nail on the head. I have typical age-related presbyopia and struggle to read small text in poor light without reading glasses. I can do it, but it is blurry and my brain has to work harder. if I do it for long enough I get a headache. When I put reading glasses on everything snaps into focus and my brain can relax as it is not having to work to compensate. That is exactly how I experience the effects of the clock. Thanks James!
