OK, so my system ***WAS*** rock-solid stable with the RME cards
until either:
a.) Deej jinxed it by talking abou how unstable his system was
with RME hardware vs' the Pulsar stuff, my system heard about
it, got jealous for new hardware too, and started purposely
fucking up so I'd buy it a new present too (LOL).
b.) When I installed the Pulsar ASIO drivers, then de-installed
them, something went wrong on the de-install & maybe that
driver's still interfering with things somehow (but I can't
find it, so I kinda doubt this is the case).
c.) When I recently reconfigured my setup, I had to get some
new BNC cables for my Word Clock since the other ones were too
short. I have a feeling it has something to with this, rather
than the other two possiblities.
1.) The cables are all 12 feet long... not too long
according to the Lucid wesbite (I have a Genx6-96) where they
recommend no longer than 15 feet.
2.) The cables are RG58A... I believe this is 50-Ohm... would
that make a difference & cause jitter from hell?
3.) I never bothered terminating the Multifaces before, and
never had a problem... should I be terminating the outputs?
Could the longer cables be making a difference in whether I
should be terminating the WC-outs on the RME's?
