I'm using a Gen6. The difference is subtle.

I'm interested in hearing if people have tried the Black Lion Audio
Microclock, and if so what the results have been.

Please try it out for us !!

"This means that we have no idea whether it will work with an early DAT machine
or first generation digital console, or whether it�s compatible with some
random digital PCI card that was manufactured in 1997."

HI Kerry,
Doesn't look any better than most decent sound cards word clock performance.
I can maybe see it having a positive effect on some older gear but a mid to high quality gear I have my doubts.

HI Damien,
It would totally depend on what gear was being run from the Word clock.
If you are trying to clock multiple MEC boxes then a Lucid Genx 6 would make more sense with the Lucid running as the master clock for the whole thing.
If you only have one MEC and are using some more recent digital with it then you would probably want to run that gear as long as is able to and is a a good quality.

Hah, that's precisely the line that caught my eye. Maybe I will some day.

Hi Chris,

I use one MEC only, with stock 8in. I heard Paris AD are pretty good, but
also that there's some aliasing : As i'm not very happy with the high end on
the basics tracks (cymbals and voice sibillance) , i wonder if it could be
a good way to go. Of course, using better mics or pre may be the main
point. We use AT4050, and oktava LDC, SPL and yammies pre.

Last year I was using the MEC internal clock and analog outputs with an
Alesis RA-100 and Yamaha NS-10s. I changed to a Big Ben clock, a Benchmark
DAC and Adam's A7. I have a 2 EDS card system and one MEC with two 8-ins.
In each category I definitely noticed a difference and I heard improvements
to the Paris sound. With the clock I heard better low end clarity. With
the DAC I heard better overall tightness and depth. Both together gave me
better stereo imaging and tightness, especially in the low end bass and kick
drum. The A7's just made listening more enjoyable.

I'm going to try this, so I'll hear for myself, but do you think
using my TCM3000 as sync source (set to S/PDIF) would be an improvement over
using Paris internal?

Any one else do this?

Thanks,

Ted
