However, he is right in the middle of two highly important development phases for the next two UpTone products and those have priority over him spending a day to set up, warm up, and run phase-noise plots on these clocks. Maybe in the slack time while waiting for next round of development test boards to come back...

jamesg11 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 /& btw, I just checked the ER manual & realised I’d used an incorrect connection sequence - hadn’t powered down the ER before switching to EXT clock & then powering up clock followed by ER.

Between the tungsten and the Be Quiet they really transformed the unit. It really sounds like a much more expensive unit. One really didn’t notice the short comings of the stock clock but once you e implemented these two tweaks it’s even more awesome. I forgot to mention I also have been using 4 large Baby Booties on the bottom and for footers and two Supersonic Stabilizers from Herbie’s Audio Lab as well.
