Thanks Mario / guys
The goal was to make a super low jitter clock that had the usual attributes of imaging, detail etc but to retain
(or maybe even enhance) the often lost qualities of great musicality and natural timbres etc.
The design is a pretty all out approach with every function block having it's own separate VLN discrete reg.
The oscillator itself has super low jitter spec (rms < 1pSec) and a phase noise spec of -120dBc at 10Hz from carrier (11.2896MHz)
Whilst the specs are very good, the main focus as stated above is a design that retained musical qualities that can get lost when clock are upgraded.
I'll also be trying one on Stevens system to see how it translates and help get a handle on it's performance.
I'll sort some pcb's and get a small batch of 11.2896MHz clocks underway.
cheers

My clock is a fully worked early tricord, that even standard, i feel is better than tricords current design. There is very little left of the original clock parts. I even think the earlier crystal is better than his currant one and i use it. I use duelund caps sidereels caps, tantalum resistors, all battery powered, It has timber, body, warmth, involvement, beautiful mid range weight and rhythm and pace, not analytical in any way. and it is head and shoulders better than any i have heard, so it will be an interesting test. Remember Terry had a lot of imput into the killer DAC, so from him, i expect greatness.
