A better clock they say is a way to reduce jitter. Well, where does jitter come from? It come as a result of slow rise times in digital circuits. To improve risetimes you must improve the power and ground of the circuits. I start at the laser power supply (usually 5 volts). Then work towards the analog output by-passing every circuit (IC's mostly in todays units). At the crystall itself there are usually two small value caps of around 10 or 12pf. I change those to surface mount types. With every circuit by-passed with large value caps jitter goes way down. And I never added an expensive clock. I hope this helps, bobwire
