Right music on this morning and I am very happy with what is coming out now given the very small voltage over the connection from the clock I suspect that there is more to come with further burn in but this is now better already than using a cable . Best of all is higher levels of detail but zero hardness unless it is on the recording . This sort of variable change rather than blanket change is what I like to hear . Recordings are all different so there should be sonic differences from recording to recording . I have also changed the LB settings output 1 disabled and using output 2 only and this I think is also an improvement but only a very subtle one .

I agree, the more system improvements I make the more it differentiates recordings. Probably the biggest surprise to me is how many live recordings now sound spectacular compared with early days. |

the adapters cost 10usd using my prime account. If its going to cost you 5-10usd to ship to the recipient, its probably better they just buy at amazon. I have my other 4 if you guys are willing to pay shipping, I'll give away the adapters for free.

Sorry I am n the UK and they cost £5 including delivery I can post them for about 0.60p so in my case not that expensive . In fact because of reciprocal agreements I could also post to the US for the same price .

Okay now had a good few hours with the direct connection and a few nights with Cascade burn in . This afternoon after a quick drive to NVA and back turned the system on for a few hours relax after the drive . For the first time there was no change and the sound seems to have settled . Sound is as good as I had hoped all harshness has now gone but the extra detail such as the sound of the keys on a saxophone are there and that very strange bleeding that electric pianos have is easier to hear . I am now very convinced that for my music and my system a direct connection of the LB clock is better than any of the current cables I have and have heard . I now need to find some way of supporting the LB , as a short term measure I have suspended it using fishing line under very slight tension but looking for some thing better underneath it . I have been told that the clock will be very sensitive to vibration but in truth I have heard any issues . I am more concerned with the mechanical stress on the socket so need to find a solution . If nothing else comes to mind then will cut a piece of upholstery foam to size and rest within that .

Hooked up the Tflex cable. My opinion between using adapter or tflex cable, not a big difference. The Tflex actually sound more coherent on my set up. Im not sure what it is. The adapter made my system sound less cohesive. So far i prefer the sound of the tflex
