This is a picture of mine. Though I thought I was an early adopter, it looks different than yours.

By the way the picture shows clearly the traces from the top two clock pads (3,4) to the receiving holes for the dip-14 socket. I assume the bottom 2 (1,2) are also connected in some way.

I got the same regulator as this one, can only output 200ma

Yeah, absolutely post up pictures so we can confirm

Not fast enough !

You're quick man

So...what is better than that little abracon ? A larger abracon ! 2.5x more expensive ! Also 5X more in stability of 10PPB and not 50PPB.

Go in Frankenstein’s style !! Still Dropped-in !!!

This one is from digikey and it requires some works with the twisted pear audio adapter (sugru fix everything !). Terminated differently ! So you can see me running hard-silver all around X_X. This one started cold crank of 3W and is operating at 1W, which is well within the regulators capability !

Yes! Once again, she upscaled with Pinkfaun I2S! Wow, I never would have thought the lks004 has so much more Juices to be squeezed out like this ! Totally craziness ! This is definitely the heart of LKS004 !

A sc-cut crystal beast!

Oh yeah! Huge! Though, and yet affordable

This OCXO is bringing the LKS004 into another tier of class with my Pinkfaun I2S. The soundstage is now much more vertical (which was never impressive to me from the beginning, but now it is! And this thing isn’t even done burn-in). This soundstage and the deeper more dynamic timbres (more depth, and hence more organic) are all very obvious improvements, together with other details. I can totally see where Pulsar will play a huge role.

To those people who doesn’t have this powerful regulators, may as well save the money and wait for Pulsar 100Mhz. It will be a simpler job of removing 575 crystek and put in a DIL-14 dip sockets, and then dip-in the Pulsar.

Other clocks is also an upgrade such as 575X and 950X, they are the next sane tier of improvements for many other LKS004. The lks004 is already built with so much quality components. They even leave out the holes to fit in the DIP socket ! This is the reason why clock can be so important and show so much improvements

How is the bass, does it sound warmer on the bid clock?

I got the same regulator as this one, can only output 200ma

I got my self some TPS7A4700 waiting already

The big OCXO ? Bass is amazing with great depth and dynamic, warmth of organic timbres and tight when needed such as EMD music or synthesized bass

Where did you get those regulators ? That is amazingly fast !

Sounds great on the bass!

I got these earlier ago from ebay, ships from China

Will be interesting to see how you will fit them on the lks004 . Keep us all updated !

 

[Whitigir]

Wow, so on my Pinkfaun and it upgraded OCXO clock. I found out that it was a modified module with voltage regulator to use the 5V of this OCXO

And it is cheaper than the OCXO Abracon that I just put into my lks004....it aging is also much worse than the Abracon. No wonder why the Abracon is so expensive

Both has the same phase noises, no wonder why the lks004 scaled up so crazily with my Pinkfaun i2s! Wow...never expected this. But I am head over heels with this new OCXO

Whitigir, I took photos of the inside of my LKS to determine its upgradeability. I hope I captured the proper locations!

Thanks,
HC

 

[aggielaw]

Whoa, those are HUGE! Sorry about that.

Whoa, those are HUGE! Sorry about that.

I can not see what is here . Need better close up pic and resolution

 

[Whitigir]

Oh by the way, I just found out that Matrix X-Sabre pro uses 950 The build doesn’t look like a possibility to swap and upgrade clock like lks004.

Thank you LKS!
