Esoteric G-02 clock - your thoughts

Thanks Garebear....clocking cable choices (better than stock cables) do help so look for good quality BNC-to-BNC 75-ohm cables to help finalize the configuration. Best of luck with your new purchase!

Hello Zephyr24069.....thank you and I found that one out on what cables can do for a clock when I bought the G-03x. I currently have Purist Audio ( my whole system is PAD ) Proteus Provectus but have been looking at the Stealth Vardig Sextet's BNC's. Yes...they also make a difference....anything to spend my money on.

Believe me,...i understand that last point all too well :-)

Gentlemen- I picked up the G-02 clock and my question to the forum is ; does a clock need time to '' break in '' ???

Garebare, just leave the clock connected and powered.

I found an undeniable distinct improvement from the start adding a 10m clock to my k01x, it just sound more correct, not day and night differences or changes like some other tweaks may give, for better or worst.

I just cannot listen without the clock, there is a correctness or naturalness to the whole sonic picture. No going back!

Can your player accept 22m, it seems this frequency may give the best improvements.

I have collected reports from forumers on otherite with just changing the internal clock. It somehow seems that the higher the frequency the better, like 100m. It does not make sense technically to me as phase noise of the clock decreases with higher frequencies.But somehow, it is said to be better sounding.

The G03 is fine and sports an OCXO like in the G02, main difference would be that the G02 supports higher frequencies, 10m and above if you equipment can accept these.

What are your observations with the new G02, hope you can utilise the higher frequencies.

I may not be certain, as there are many other factors influencing the sound when a clock is added, but it may be that low phase noise improves naturalness, and gking up in frequencies improves detail giving an even more detail and accurate presentation.
