Gentlemen,
i wish to buy a masterclock and my budget is $1500.
Which is the "best" for that price?
Any suggestions would be more than welcome.
Thank you...

We use the Apogee Big Ben, replaced an AardsyncII with it with great results. I'm needing to get a Master Clock soon for my setup when I start connecting my multiple Liquid Channels digitally.... the Big Ben is absolutely what I'm getting....that is, if the new Drawmer one doesn't blow me away when I get a chance to try it out :-)

Thanks Brad,
already bought it!

I asked the same question on OSXaudio and thank God they answered on the first day and it was a unanimous decision that the Big Ben is the way to go.
So i "went" for it... :D

Ever see that movie "National Lampoon's European Vacation"? If so, you'll understand the comeday in this.... two of my co-workers next to me each picked up a Big Ben recently that sat on their desk all day. I kept saying, everytime I walked by, "Look kids, Parliment...Big Ben" :-) Okay, I need to get out more :-)
