I haven't been a Time-Nut long enough for the infection to reach that level.  I'd also have to move to a bigger place!  :-DD

Well guess being a Time nut is not really much cheaper than being a Volt nut after all. But still putting in 10 MHz reference clock distribution in to my rack is not that bad right?

That's the first step on a very slippery slope.
Is it really 10 MHz?  How close to 10 MHz?  How do you know?  Are you sure?

Yeah it just keeps going on from there. Well maybe if i just use the internal OCXO in the spectrum analyzer or synthesizer just to keep them in sync.

But then id want to know witch one is more accurate and stable so that i use the better one as the master....dang it.

But that means i need to make space in my lab for another one of these giant things. Besides a empty rack would just encourage me to fill it with something!

Can TGAS be cured?

Late addition here. Former sufferer and addict. Peak gear was 54 items. I spent the last two years cleaning my house and mind.

I've got down to one of each now: DMM, scope, LCR meter, frequency counter, soldering iron, sig gen. Parts have gone down from 120Kg of boxes to 1/4 of an Ikea Kallax and 7Kg. I think I made about £5k on eBay out of those sales.

However I found another addiction. I've got a completely unfinished homebrew VTVM, scope and frequency counter on the bench. Build is more fun than buy it turns out, even if the end result is technically inferior to a $10 Chinese piece of junk. Valves/vacuum tubes are great fun, especially after I found that RS sell new ones still.

Yea if you don't downsize you can still be a member, but selling without buying another one is a sign your addiction is fading. One one leaves one or more must be added, two leave two or more must be added ...  :clap:
