On a similar subject,
I have been considering running an external oscillator/timer into the the DMG clock,
do you have any idea if that would work?

I'm loving it, I think alot of my problem had to do with a badly flashed LSDj,
I updated to a new version and there is barely any noise. I use a 500k audio pot to get a wide sweep,
it runs with the low limit all the way down and I have yet to have it crash.

Yeah this is normal of any clock kit. If you turn the unit on with no cartridge you can hear the pitch change as you adjust the knob.
How's the kit working for you otherwise?

This is more than likely just the repercussion of relocating the crystal. Crystals are not supposed to be connected by wires, they're supposed to be as close to the CPU as possible with no tracks underneath to cause noise.

You can try connecting it closer to the CPU, that may reduce noise.

I'm using the Variable clock V2 by thursday customs
and have this nasty whirly sound from the clock, constantly,
any ideas of how to get rid of this? could it just be cross talk?
