, both speed and price. Regards, DedricThe cables are not the same length and can't be because of the setup. Two of the cables are 6 feet and 75 ohm. The one small cable that came with it is two feet and 59ohm. However when I run the preamp off of the Paris, it doesn't matter 75 ohm, 6 feet or 2 feet it runs flawlessly, but as soon as I use the Aardsync, it's as if it not even plugged in. Also there is no BNC out to terminate on the preamps. When you set the switch on the back to 44.1 slave, that puts termination on the preamp. But, this isn't a daisy chain that you terminate the last one in the chain, it is three seperate runs.

ables are 6 feet and 75 ohm. The one small cable that came with it >is two feet and 59ohm. There's your problem, I betcha... two different sets of resistance AND two different lengths. Contrary to what you just said, they CAN be all the same length (and in fact, really ought to be) if you're not diasy-chaining them... you simply default to the longest length you need as the length for all the cables. Right now the two-footers are bringing clock data into their units at a third of the timing that the six- footers are... the resistance difference adds a whole 'nuther factor, too but even if that were the same, you've got the units on the receiving end of the six-footers clocking sample number "1", while the ones at the end of the two-footers are already at sample number 14,700 (@ 44.1k samplerate). Are you basically hearing like 3 clicks/pops per second, roughly? Get all 6-foot, 75-ohm cables & report back, do not under any circumstances use 58/59-ohm cables (in my experience, anyway).
