Ramon,
thanks for your impressions. I have to say that they specifically match the other positive reactions I read, in terms of ‘where’ the clock added its alleged benefits. If it were an objective effect, supposing that objectiveness has a role in audio evaluating, it would raise a point: is it better to extract 100% of a ‘lesser’ player or enjoy 75% of a better one?
Because the whole matter can have a ‘philosophical’ side too, for those who are sensitive to such shades; sometimes we seem to look for peace of mind more than for peace of ears so to speak..
The whole thing of an external clock makes some sense to me in this respect; when I had all Naim gear I always added extra PSUs even though I was aware of the scarce power requirements of a preamp or a CDP.. But I also understand that being the disc the very first link in the chain and as such also the weakest link, adding costly parts to working systems may not be a good way of allocating money. It all
comes down to peace for mind it seems; I had to undergo a costly therapy for some time and I still wonder what if I had bought a very fine piece of equipment instead; I just wonder,,,
;-)
