Ethernet Clocking


i had previously reported that adding an Antelope 10m rubidium clock to the Etherregen results in major tightening of soundstage and location of individual instruments. To my great surprise adding filtering on the BNC 75 Ohms connection between clock and Etherregen results in substantial additional benefits. The filter used is a Mini-Circuits BLP-10.7-75+ DCto11MHZ model.

We are only beginning to understand how to maintain clean clocking on digital connections, it is of paramount importance to SQ.

I always appreciated your contributions here. But honestly, I’ve lost track of all gazillion tweaks you have reported :-) It would be helpful for readers to learn about all the components in your system.  Why not post your system in Virtual Systems?

I concur and that’s quite a audio system you’ve got…wow! It certainly reflects your pursuit and passion for our hobby. I’ve much simpler system compare to yours :-)

“Ethernet ’re-clocker’ aren’t more of a thing than dry water,”

@lmcmalo

You may choose to believe that or try one of the audio grade switches and report your findings. I believe your system is good enough to render any subtle changes with a switch like Silent Angel. If you choose not to be open minded, we understand that too! After all you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.

Here is one reason you stated in your first post, 2nd paragraph 😊

“I believe just about anything can affect sound.”
