Good morning Paul,

What makes you think I never have replaced the clock? 🙂 To keep it short the problem also appears without the clock.

Indeed normally burned in cables would be better. Untill you will come to this certain level. It’s about the complete stream, when I only use one or two high grade power supplies then there’s no problem. This makes it better and there ain’t any issue at all, but when you take it a few levels up and use up to 8 Farad power supplies. Then the stream becomes too stable and clocks (even normal crystals) will interfere with each other, They probably will work together and the problem is born.

I’m in close contact with the guys from Pink Faun and also the electronics designer. I also had 3 different Pink Faun streamers, actually four or five when I would count some modifications. I also had an audition of different ultra streamers with different specs. They wanted to know which I thought sounded best. I was pretty clear about my preference and they have followed that advice, which means one clock in the ultra streamer sounds better than more. This is about interference.

In my own Pink Faun streamer I have tested one to 5 clocks. With only one clock it sounded better.

For what concerns the powersupplie of the Pink Faun ultra streamer it’s really on a high level. But still every Farad power supply is superior. I think the Paul Hynes just makes enough noise to prevent problems with dark sound. Feeding the option modules with the internal powersupplie of the Pink Faun streamer solves the problem as well. Also the first edition Farad power supply brought less problems.
