Isn't the most important question whether or not it changes audible sound quality?
I believe (perhaps having more context than you) that both Ed's and Damien's interests at present are in test equipment than playback/recording. So they're going for max performance.
How are you isolating them from each other? Oscillators running at the same frequency don't need much coupling to synchonise them, and so give correlated noise. As you are combining the outputs, and locking to the same master, there is considerable scope for unwanted coupling.gerhard said:Hey, I'm trying the same game with oscillators, also. 16 pcs. 5 MHz SC cut MTI-260
sloooowly phaselocked to one master, and the 16 outputs Wilkinson-combined
to a common coax. That should give pretty low phase noise.

I like to have the lowest distortion and the best sound... so test equipment is needed to help achieve both.

I recall seeing a NIST paper on Allen Variance testing that that used multiple series common base stages as isolating/unidirectional buffers
another interesting extreme performance xtal hack is using multiple xtals physically oriented to give multi-axis vibration acceleration error cancellation

And of course if the test equipment distortion becomes the limiting factor, then nothing better to do but improve it.
In short, guaranteed employment forever.
Can you point me to audio gear that you designed?And of course if the test equipment distortion becomes the limiting factor, then nothing better to do but improve it.

Almost forever.... now we can get very close in distortion harmonics at the levels of the lowest noise floors. Employment forever? Why do that?
I tried that once in my life.
Now, i dont have a job.
Leaving for Asia again in 3 days. 🙂 Be out there roaming around for another 3 months. L.G.

Please first show good faith by pointing me at the full service manuals including schematics for the audio gear that you designed.
It's all in my head and my stuff almost never breaks. Any reviews of your gear about?Please first show good faith by pointing me at the full service manuals including schematics for the audio gear that you designed.

Yes, one even in Stereophile.
Let's not start this again, please...
I agree. Booo-ring. A childish contest comparing the length of male members, as it were. It's not my preference, to waste any more time with it.

Gravitational waves detected. Now THAT is precision measurement. No substitute for great Engineering and Physics with the addition of cubic dollars. I shall raise a glass to the Ligo team tonight.

This will cause quite a stir. I'm sure the Einstein bashers won't let up.

Yeah, but is it audible? 😀

Yes, and they were audible, they sound like a chirp. This will be the next generation of quantum Bybee devices, effectively shielding against gravitational waves.
Some background.... see Dr J. Wilson award for his work -- I didnt know him but his tenure over-lapped mine.

Thanks for that reference Richard. First he had to figure out how to blow it all apart and then how it all fit together. An interesting path in his professional career.
