I've gotten excellent results using an aquarium pump in a cooler. Essentially making a tiny Clinebell ice maker in your freezer. If you position it right and use the right amount of power, you get zero cloudiness at any point in the block. Best sample I was able to make (the second slide is more impressive, not sure why I didn't post that first): https://www.instagram.com/p/BfRgI71B1h7/?hl=en
Major hassle though. And is the aquarium pump food safe? Probably better to go with the directional freezing method.
Regardless, I'm pretty sure Camper English mentions this somewhere in his archives - he's tried every single method as far as I can tell. He is the godfather of clear ice.
