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 also use the Afterdark Queen clock w/ an EtherREGEN with excellent audible results.

What options are there for clocks for an EtherRegen?

Obviously AfterDark. What else is reasonable, from US$500-$1000?

Aliexpress: BG7TBL 10MHz OCXO FREQUENCY STANDARD ,

I bought this and it was a good step forward for less than $100. It convinced me to buy the expensive Antelope 10m clock which was again significantly better

I guess I could look at a used clock.

@lalitk I guess I should have said ‘almost’.  I just bought a $400 usb cable.   Maybe I’ll make my way to Ethernet some day.
