Ether Regen and AfterDark Master Clock


Hello,  I am asking for feedback form individuals who have bought and tried the Ether REGEN and / or one the AfterDark Master Clocks.  Would only appreciate hearing comments from those who have actually put one in THEIR system and evaluated before and after,  I appreciate all the 'bits are bits' campers,  but don't need to hear that, especially if you have not tried one or both of these tweeks in your system. 

I have Roon Nucleus +, in a remote room, on a normal ethernet switch.

I run cat 7 wire to my Roon Endpoint, a Mola Mola Tambaqui with internal streamer. This connects with all Kubala - Sosnal Elation cabling to my Audionet Pre amp and Audionet Max amps, then to my YG Hailey speakers.  So it would be fair to say that I have a fairly resolving system.

 

I have inserted the Ether REGEN between my  network cable and my Tambaqui DAC.  To me it has improved the sound.  I am considering adding one of the AfterDark (or other?) reclocker.

 

I challenge the group to not degrade to comments of science and oils, unless you have actually tried these products.

And, FYI, I certainly believe that my K-S cables have improved the sound substantially of already fine equipment.  That is my opinion, from my listening evaluations.

 

Thanks!  Ken

I run my Antelope Audio 10M Rubidium clock into the Etheregen into my InnuOS Zenith Mk3 into Antelope Audio Platinum DAC. Prior to buying the expensive Antelope clock I tried a $100 Chinese Ocxo clock which already provided a significant improvement. Upgrading the clock provided the expected benefits: better leading edge and reverb, better location of individual instruments in the soundstage, better depth and height of the soundstage. The Etherregen is a wonderful product; I run various filters on the feed into the Etherregen (EMO, DXE), again to very good effect. The Etherregen is fed by Zerozone's top 12v power supply. I have had more mileage from improving psu's and ethernet and USB connections than from switching components.

The Etherregen is as close to the Zenith as possible and connected with a 25cm Meicord cat6. The Dac feeds a Wavac EC300b driving Duevel Bella Lunas via Auditorium23,speaker cables. Connection between Dac and server is via Intona Reference and Isolator.Chinese clock was a BG7TBL 10MHz OCXO FREQUENCY STANDARD 2 channel sine wave 1 channel square wave. On short runs ethernet beats optical converters plus fibre.

may I suggest you start by feeding the Etherregen from a good PSU? In my case that is the first big step. On a resolving system upgrading the clock has major benefits but is obviously significantly more expensive. I reclock both the Etherregen and the DAC’s DA +USB conversion.
