Is the dealer you refer to here called Ctronic Audio Labs? If so, are the prices on the website 20% off or do you need to contact them about this? If not, who is the US dealer?

mfaoro Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Can I assume that the reason I don’t see the Mutec Ref 10 se120 mentioned much is because of its price. It seems to tick all of the boxes. Square, 75ohms, isolated outputs, very low phase noise (if I’m reading the charts right - the only knowledge I have of clocks is from this thread). Or is there something I am missing?

Have been using the Mutec for the ER for some time. The Cybershaft was powered (to keep it warmed up and stabilized) but otherwise sitting idle unconnected. The other day I accidentally disconnected the power to the Cybershaft and noticed a jump in audio clarity - basically the proverbial veil being lifted kind of thing. Initially I was not aware of the real cause and just attributed it to less AC noise on Sunday. But later after carefully tracing the wiring I realized that the reason is due to powering down the Cybershaft. The veil would return if I power up the Cybershaft again. This suggests that the idling Cybershaft is somehow interfering with the system, causing the degradation in sound quality. The Cybershaft is sitting atop the Mutec with its output unconnected so I guess that contributes to the interference. This also cast questions on tests comparing multiple clocks as they may in fact interfere with one another when powered on simultaneously. If you have more than one clock you may want to experiment with this, just in case. Which Mutec do you have and what do you think of it? Sound quality of Mutec vs Cybershaft?

mfaoro Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Alright. My understanding of the moat idea is sketchy at best. Im thinking about buying a Mutec Clock. It has its own, internal LPS so it would be plugged into my power conditioner. Does the following sketch break the moat in the ER that is connected to my Nucleus and Linn DSM?

I ran into an issue with the D16 dropping it's connection regularly and just could not get it straightened out. Now I have server>ER>NUC>USB> Mutec USB>AESEBU>Denefrips Terminator with REF10 clocking the ER and Mutec. I am very happy. Details in sig. I do suggest modifying the Mutec to use an LPS. It is pretty simple with basic DIY skills. Have you seen directions or know of anyone who will modify the REF 10 to use an LPS? FRONT END: Analog: Radikal Linn LP12 > Linn Urika 2 phono stage.

mfaoro Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Last month you gave me some good feedback on a network/power diagram. Thank you. I figured I’d reply with a revised diagram but it took me a month and I finally just drew it. Do y’all see any issues with moat (or other) issues? red=power blue=network I noted A/B sides of Etherregen. AfterDark. 1 FRONT END: Analog: Radikal Linn LP12 > Linn Urika 2 phono stage.
