Not to derail the thread, but in the interest of providing information to the forum members:
Yes, they did sell thousands of them, (that had the small clock instead of the large clock), to unsuspecting customers who read the original reviews of the 2 large clock models and thought that's what they would be getting. (M2Tech now claims they only use the large clocks)
Here's a pic from their web site showing the small clock-large clock configuration that was eventually exchanged for one with two large clocks.
Mine was one of the thousands they sold like this (and was exchanged by Tweak Geek, which btw is a great company to deal with) but the only caveat M2Tech imposed for an exchange was that if you opened it up to find out which clock you had you voided your warranty...... a pretty bullet proof way to avoid replacing any HiFaces. So how do you find out which clock you have without opening the case?
small clock - large clock (original sent to me) 2 large clocks (replacement)
There was no question that the large clock sounded much better than the small clock, but even in it's best sounding configuration, it still was a treble tilted, tone altering transport, that employed the "louder sounds better" trick. (Volume balance and check for yourself against another transport.)
Now, guys, which HiFace did you get, (and how sure can you be sure that M2Tech is only using the better sounding large clocks now)... remember, if you open the case you void your warranty?
