  1. I got mine from kamaudio.com, try them.
  2. Yes Alexey! That would be great! Much easier to work with I'm sure.
  3. @R1200CL @econaut Yes, exactly, I am trying to get rid of all my SMPS @Mihaylov Thank you again!
  4. Just finished my Mac Mini M1 conversion to 12 volt dc using the Teradak dc module as done by @MikePid Very nice! I started with just powering it using an Astron 12 amp lps, not really audio quality and not quite as good as the standard ac supply. Then today I added LT3045 modules from ldovr.com (5 one amp in parallel), and that made a huge improvement! Terrific upgrade for not a lot of $$$. More body, more detail, more low end, cleaner all around!
  5. I do have a separate lps for the BG7TBL currently, so I'm good there. I was hoping a could use it for something else. The Mac Mini is on the A side of the ER connected by fiber, but then can I power it and the ER's LPS1.2 from the same lps?
  6. This is EtherRegen moat question: Can I power the EtherRegen's outboard BG7TBL ocxo clock, the LPS1.2 powering the EtherRegen, and my Mac Mini M1 running HQPlayer (converted to 12 volt dc and connected thru a Cisco 2960 by fibre) all from the same LPS?
  7. @Mihaylov We made your mod for direct connection to the ocxo output today. I think a little improvement. However, the red error light comes/stays on. Is this normal? Also, this was very easy. No desoldering necessary, the two parts just pulled out without any heat applied, not very well put together!
  8. BG7TBL clock report #2: I upgraded the Astron lps powering the clock by adding Alexey's LT3045 modules, 2 x 1 amp in parallel. Wow, bigger improvement than just adding the BG7TBL itself. Much blacker background, music coming out of that background in stark relief with great body/solidity, almost holographic. Way cleaner low end again. I keep wanting to turn up the volume! Next mod will be @Mihaylov direct connection to the ocxo output in 2 weeks when my brother comes to do the surgery. I'm right at $200 into this and it's money VERY well spent. I can't imagine what a $1500+ clock would do and sadly I won't find out, retirement has made me the thrifty audiophile!
  9. @AudioDoctor Makes perfect sense technically, but would I hear the difference? BTW, I'm getting ready to convert my M1 to 12v DC. That should be interesting as well!
  10. @AudioDoctor I do trust you after reading many of your posts, but what will the 16GB do better than the 8GB? My 8GB will play almost every filter at DSD256 using 7ecv2. It won't do the Sinc's of course, but I didn't think 16gig would do that either? I'm also running Roon on it as well. Thoughts?
  11. Thanks Mihaylov. That mod looks pretty straight forward. I'm all thumbs with a soldering iron, so I'll have my brother do it when I see him next month. Do you have any details on the ocxo?
  12. My BG7TBL clock arrived yesterday. Left it warming overnight and listened this morning. Nothing earth shattering but a nice improvement, mostly to the soundstage with more depth and focus, and also to bottom end detail. Certainly worth the money! I'm using the Geistnote Wyde Eye and the sine wave output to the MicroCircuits Filter. Power is by an Astron 7 amp linear, not great but better than the wall wart included. I'm awaiting on some of Alexey's LT3045 modules to improve the Astron ps. Then maybe some neoprene etc. The ocxo looks to be a CMAC, but I can't identify the specific model. Here's a pic if anyone knows anything about it.
  13. Thanks all! MoCA may be moot as I've finally found a Cat5 telephone cable that home runs close enough to where I need it. Connectors are on their way from Amazon, so I should have it up this weekend if the cable is good. Responses greatly appreciated.
  14. What is your favorite BG7TBL sine wave clock cable, under about $50?
  15. Nice. Any pictures of your mods to the insides of the clock?
