I really don’t think it is going to make a massive difference, but I believe that these were fitted to the Monarch.

The upgraded clock is easy to fit. You have to remove a capacitor and the old clock.
You put a wire link across the capacitor, and the new clock feeds the output position of the old clock.
The +ve and ground feeds are taken from different positions on the PCB.
Total time spent fitting it, taking it easy, and double checking everything - less than 30 minutes.
It is easy to do, if you can solder.
How does it sound? Superb, as always.
I didn’t listen to it just before fitting the upgraded clock.
From memory, I would say that it seems to boogie a bit better, and the definition/detail seems a touch better.
I don’t have a standard deck to compare, and I am not removing it to see if I am correct.
Money well spent? I’ll let you decide.

Looks a nifty upgrade for not too much dosh?

That is why I went for it.
I think the Techie sounds better now, but I cannot be 100% sure.
I went for it, as it was in the Monarch, which a lot of people in the HiFi press raved about (apparently) with it often being a “reference” deck.
