Enjoying what it does today.
It’s certainly not a big difference with the clock, and right now for me i don’t think the £20700 price for a new unit is worth it, but lets see how that goes as the next few weeks go by.
I know what i should expect as had the rossini clock beforehand, maybe the vivaldi clock is still settling down, and needs a few more days yet?
But it certainly looks nice all 3 boxes
Well it’s been over a week now, the new clock has had time to heat up, settle down, burn in or whatever now.
I must say i wasn’t totally convinced at the start, but now having tried it, and also just turning it off, i do find the presentation with it on a nicer one. I find it hard to actually say what i like better as it’s not much different, but at the same time it is definitely different.
I think the music just flows better, and is all tied in better together. I do find it’s also slightly easier to follow if that makes sense.
I still don’t think it’s worth £20k as far as cost to inpovement goes, but at the same time i know i am going to miss it when it goes back.
I certainly would like a clock in my rig as you can certainly understand that it’s all ment to complement each other, and i will end up with one, i am sure.
I just find it hard to explain what i am actually liking better when it comes to clocks, i had the same issue with the rossini set up i had before, so i have tried to explain it, but probably not very well.

I think you are grasping it correctly. I think the more time the clock is in, the harder it is to take it out. You’ll begin to notice more and more things that the clock is doing and one day you just can’t live with out it. You might try turning on the dither mode, I find I like it better this way, others may not.
Also, while the clock maybe at temperature and settling in, I think the cables take 30 days and they settle in also. Are you using the stock clock cables? Spending a little money on better clock cables will make a big difference, I have used Cardas Clock cables in the past, they are excellent and not expensive. If in the US, you likely mail order and have a 30 day try n buy. Today I am using top of the line Transparent Clock cabling.
I have the dither on, also using my own clock cables from my rossini days. They are 2 different makes but left the standard cables in the box
