I have never met such a manufacturer of equipment with such good contact and help as Kingwa. Whenever I had a problem, he tried to help me as soon as possible. This is a very big plus for me. The sound is very good, technically well built, and the appearance is of secondary importance to me.- nikko510

You can write what you want, but in my system the OCK-2 does a very good job. My daughter just needs a few sounds and in a blind test she will immediately indicate the plugged in clock. I have three inexpensive clocks and I do not regret the money spent on them, each of them brings something...- nikko510

I have to admit that the Telegartner cable is quite good, the first listening session left quite a good impression. In my free time, I also made the 75 ohm CL2 cable proposed here on the forum. Although the cable is quite well built, because it has a double copper shield + aluminum foil, the...- nikko510

I'm not sure, but my gut tells me that Alvin is not the manufacturer of these clocks, rather just a dealer.- nikko510

Yes, I agree with you, but the equipment produced now, especially in China, has mostly 50 ohm clock inputs. In my opinion, if someone sells a standard clock with 50 ohm settings, there should also be 50 ohm sockets for logic. Kingwa definitely uses 50 ohm sockets as standard, unless someone...- nikko510

Theoretically, if it is sold as standard with 50 ohm settings, and as you know, most equipment has 50 ohm clock inputs, then 50 ohm sockets should be mounted in the OCK-2. It seems to me that there should be 50 ohm sockets, but I could be wrong.- nikko510

I am very curious, what sockets does the OCK-2 clock have? The Gustard C18 should be 50 ohms.- nikko510

Telegartner 141 cables with plugs made, very easy to assemble - it went quickly. Technically quite good performance, much better in my opinion than the Gustard C2 cable and the cable included with the LHY. Finally, an all-50 ohm cable with non-magnetic plugs. Unfortunately, there is no time to...- nikko510

The entire housing of Telegartner plugs is made of brass, covered with a thin layer of nickel. The cable is Semi Flex .141 from the same company, the one shown in the photo looks like metal.- nikko510

Telegartner manufactures 50 ohm BNC plugs that are non-magnetic. When I have time, I will make cables on these plugs and a 50 ohm cable, then I will compare with other cables.- nikko510

I made a second longer BNC cable for DI20HE. I don't know if the silver plugs are as good or the silver wire, maybe both. Both new cables are unbaked and are 75 ohms, yet they are far superior to all my 50 ohm cables. There is even better separation, better decay of instruments and clarity. It's...- nikko510

Finally, after great effort, I managed to make a 75 ohm cable on a silver conductor - in a double braid. I had a huge problem with the confection of my best plugs, they did not fit the cable at all, and in addition they had a lot of parts that had to be drilled. As you can see, I had plugs for...- nikko510

I had problems with the LMR400 50ohm cable bought on aliexpress. I disassembled this cable and please see what the pins on the plugs look like. Not only that, the middle aluminum cable itself, which is covered with copper, is of similar quality - a massacre. It is better to make BNC cables...- nikko510

I found 75 ohm BNC plugs that were only made for the military. They are entirely non-magnetic and very heavily silver plated. Are these plugs suitable for making a 75 ohm clock cable?- nikko510

This is exactly how it is to get the maximum out of the Audio Gd equipment, we need about 4 hours of warm-up time, there is no other way.- nikko510

The OCK-2 warm-up week is behind me. DI20HE + R7HE MK2 The Bowers & Wilkins D3 loudspeakers, so I think they are transparent enough to capture the details. After adding the external OCK-2 clock, the smoothness of the sound is definitely better, the edges are smoother, which is a plus in my...- nikko510

OCK-2 hasn't reached me yet, plus at least a month of burning. I couldn't wait for three weeks to ship the clock so I gave up and bought it from another seller. In my system, the Gustard C18 is much better than the OCK-1, I even compared it again recently.- nikko510

I also have OCK-1 bought on Ali and I still say that it was worth buying for this money. But in my system OCK-1 connected to R7HE MK2 + DI20HE is inferior to Gustard C18. I ordered the OCK-2 also on Ali, we'll see how the OCK-2 vs Gustard C18 comparison will come out in my system, I've been...- nikko510

Normally, it should look like sellers from aliexpress or ebay should buy from beatechnik and sell a clock that is absolutely indistinguishable from what Alvin sells.Moreover, everyone should care about such cooperation. In my opinion, it is impossible to make a 1:1 copy in another factory, so it...- nikko510

Gentlemen, how is it with these clocks in the end? These clocks that are sold on aliexpress and on ebay, are they fakes, of lower quality than those offered directly by Beatechnik? Is it possible to make a counterfeit of the OCK-2 clock so quickly? - a questionable thing.- nikko510

It seems to me that the OCK-1 is better when connected to a sine wave, although Audio-Gd prefers a square wave. OCK-1 is much warmer, smoother compared to GUSTARD C18. In my system I prefer GUSTARD c18 it is more detailed, transparent. Anyway, the OCK-1 is unbeatable for the money.- nikko510

It is worth having several ACSS cables of different construction, because in fact each of them sounds different. The R7HE MK2 is amazing and with the addition of an external clock it gets even better. You can hear everything, every change of cables.- nikko510

Absolutely not. I connect the Dac and the preamplifier with a copper litz, and then the preamplifier with the power amplifiers with a silver cable.- nikko510
