Some preliminary observations re the LB after getting it working late this evening (I followed all the advice above - one output on, sleep mode, can disconnect GPS antenna once synced). So far used it only with my best cable the Harmonic Tech, foil taped BNC junction at R26 end.
- The LB responds to & scales well with quality, clean power - I was using a topping P50 low noise PS plugged into a stock power cable into unfiltered power board - the LB sounded good enough, but it took a big jump in dynamics and scale when I switched the stock cable to the Flux-50 style IEC filter + good AliX power cable plugged into my Puritan PSM156 with Groundmaster dedicated earth. What I normally use to power the OCK-2.
- the LB’s midrange has a particularly full body, natural tonality and smoothness - really nice. With my revealing speakers than can lean edgy to my ears this is more pleasing than the internal clock which has just a hint of edginess by comparison, voices not quite as palpable. LB’s bass is warm, full and flowing. Soundstage a little more layered than the internal clock.
Pretty impressive for less than 200 quid!
Am heading away for the weekend so will leave it on, ticking away in case there’s burn in…
