For your amusement...
Sitting in a waiting room yesterday, I read an article in a
very-high-end audio magazine describing a $15K Rubidium frequency
standard for providing low jitter clocks to your audio system. It has
outputs at 44.1, 48, etc. kHz, as well as a 100kHz, which the person

Try putting the output of a CD or FM radio signal into a FFT based waterfall
display. An amazing number of songs, etc have very prominent 15734KHz and/or
15.625KHz harmonics that are obviously from CRT monitors in the recording
booth. Recording engineers ain't what they used to be...

No, no, no... you must use dekatrons for your dividers. Solves many
audiophile requirements at one time... vacuum tube, nifty spinning glowing
thingies you can watch though cutout windows, endless entertainment for dope
addled brains, err uhhh I forget the rest.

Bahhh, a TRUE audiophile has three H-masers. You just can't trust your
favorite recording of Thick as a Brick to a single reference clock. You need a
realtime thee-cornered hat voter/selector to chose the best one. But masers do
meet the number one audiophile requirement of a having a glowi
Actually, both... if you happen to press PLAY on my car stereo, out would
come Thick As A Brick. Flip it over (yes, I live in the Lands of the Obsolete,
it is a cassette) and and you get Sounds From the Woods... Root around under
the seats and you would find some Aqualung and who knows wh
Oh, dear... now you have me thinking... I have that nifty little Symmetricom

While I realize the absurdity of hooking up such a thing to your
CD player at home, there can be merits of having a centrally generated
and extremely accurate clock in a professional audio/video production
facility. When you are pas

Jim, "directional" audio interconnect cables typically have two conductors
for the signal path, plus a shield. The shield is connected at only the
"destination"

What about a chain of E1T tubes? A lot nicer! ;)
And... why mess with noisy Rb references? A true audiophile has a
H-maser, of course ;)

Mark,
I hope you are using "Thick as a Brick" just
Here's a site that has some interesting analyses of some of the various
topics covered in this wonderful thread:
