Popular Post Nikko1960 Posted April 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2021 Now I understand why Adrian suggests waiting a week for the clock to settle down. Actually, I am just 5 days in. Everything keeps getting better. if you have an EtherRegen, this is a no-brainier upgrade. AfterDark. and nichino 1 1 Link to comment
Popular Post FredA Posted April 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2021 The power supply need some burn-in, for sure. Even the wiring do so, the better the quality of the components, the longer it takes. This is a sign of a high-quality device. The XO itself needs time to stabilize each time it is turned back on.

The master Clock Emperor Triple Crown in 75 ohm require to made to order in limited supply every month. This version is in sine wave. The mini filter is designed to work with sine wave Giesemann, connect directly to EtherREGEN or Mutec MC3-USB. This filter is quite amazing tweak, which can improve the vocal and details. Have a nice day. Best Regards, Adrian AfterDark. Adrian: So far I have been contemplating the Queen square wave solution, but then I also realize that those who purchased the Queen Square wave for Etherregen are wishing they had gone for a higher model. My question is whether any of the higher "Emperor" models do square waves and whether they are spec'ed at 75 Ohms, or are they sine waves performing at 50 and 75 Ohms? This matters to me, because I'd rather avoid the filters if I can, if I opt for one of the higher model Giesemann clocks. I also have an Uptone LPS 1.2 on standby that I can use with the Clock. I am wondering how the uptone might compare in performance with the Gieseman power supply. Link to comment

This is the best seller, performance is great and the improvement is huge for EtherREGEN. The music is just right and most customer will be impressed with the performance. The upgrade version from Emperor above , is another level when compared, the details, smoothness of music is quite rewarding, the soundstage is much wider and open. The micro details is mix of density with authority in bass. The high Emperor models are in sine waves with choice of 50 and 75 Ohms. The LPS 1.2 is an excellent choice for Giesemann Clock. Have a nice day. Best Regards, Adrian AfterDark.

There is not a “next” EtherREGEN in development at all at present. You know that UpTone develops products slower than glaciers melt. We are working on other things (not Ethernet related). EtherREGEN by itself is already fine, and adding a modest clock to it is nice for those who wish to do so. If people wish to throw thousands of dollars/Euros at standard switch designs with OCXO and power supply built in, there seem to be more options for that every month. (Frankly I think it is just a money-grab as nobody is showing much innovation in thier boxes...) R1200CL, Exocer, nichino and 2 others 3 2 UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment

First of all, I want to make sure that the 10% discount was pre-calculated into the tallies, and that I did not need any coupon code to activate it. If that checks out with you, may I know roughly how much time it would take for me to receive the unit. I am located in Massachusetts.

Tokyokyoto Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Where do we send our clocks fo get recalibrated and how often should this be done? Any idea on costs? Link to comment
AfterDark. Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi! Tokyokyoto, Since we are using the clock for audio use, the short term frequency stability is more important than long term. We do not think this needs to be adjusted regularly. If customer is interested to have the Giesemann Clock to perform recalibrated, it will cost USD100 , and customer are responsible for the shipping fee. Thanks and have a nice day.

Tinknocker Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 This is my second clock I've ordered from afterdark, the first one arrived fairly quick to Toledo, Ohio. Maybe 2 weeks. This second clock I ordered april 4 and is scheduled to arrive this Friday. So many more weeks than the first one but I'm good with that. I'm so use to fast delivery here in the United States that sometimes I can get frustrated waiting, like a kid for a new toy. Link to comment

yoby Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hi Adrian: I recently received the After Dark Queen clock for my Ether Regen along with the After dark LPS. It is a very impressive improvement in sound quality right out of the box. I understand that the clock takes a while to settle in. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to the ride. I was wondering if anyone has tried upgrading the fuse in the After dark LPS to a Synergistic Orange one? What is the value of the fuse in place and how does one access it? Also, what power cords are you using with it? Good listening. Jeff L AfterDark. 1 Link to comment
