Just the one, or one for each channel?
I didn't realise you could plonk one on each channel. I've been looking at one of these https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-000M-Ult...item41a4c2ddfd
Andy, your cd player would need an external clock input, with a big of digging you could find out where to solder the leads inside instead, but honestly if you reckon you can hear the measly low jitter it will already have your probably better giving up digital altogether.
and worrying about microscopically off-centre vinyl instead.
Andrew - this doesn't directly answer your question, but I replaced the clock chip on my VRDS-10 with a Tent Labs discrete clock board (internal). Works great. There were other mods done at the same time (op amps, caps, power supply), and not just the clock board. All together, the sound is excellent. Totally transformed the SQ of this player. You might send a PM to Dan Santoni here (aka Black Dog), as he has quite a bit of experience doing such mods and can likely advise as to what works and what doesn't. Apparently if done wrong, and/or using the wrong clock unit, you can do some very costly damage to the other components in the player. Tent Labs is a quality unit which is one of the safe ones to install. Other units can really bugger things up, so be careful what you choose.
Hope this helps...

PS -- the VRDS units are popular for such mods, and there is quite a bit of info out there on the web as to what works well. A few focused web searches will uncover a wealth of info.
Thanks for all the information. I'm just looking into ways of improving my current kit.
Let me know if you'd like a list of what was done with my VRDS unit. As mentioned, it completely transformed the sound quality....one of those "night and day" differences, but not in a hollow cliched way - it's the real deal. Total cost was about C$600, including tech labour to do it all. Happy to rattle off a list if you'd like.
Cheers,

Andy, what you need to buy is these, then you can properly measure the on/off button holes in your Goldring:

In fact they are pretty much essential for anyone interested in DIY audio, or design/manufacture.
