Just in case someone gathers information from this older thread: I discovered after months with wyde eye between my AD clock and Etherregen installed "backwards" (arrows pointing toward the clock instead of toward the switch) which prompted me to go through an A-B comparison- long story short- for whatever reason, the reverse/"wrong" direction clearly sounded better in my specific set-up. Yet another example of how it sometimes helps to try both directions with critical position cables.
