Rubidium Clock
Correct in the case of the K-01X; it only has a WORD CLOCK IN connector which is 75-ohm (as with other Eso gear). It does not have a separate 10Mhz input. 
Rubidium Clock
The 10Mhz inputs on the Esoteric gear is spec'ed at 50-ohm, not 75-ohm. The "WORD CLOCK" In and Out BNC connections on Esoteric gear is spec'ed at 75-ohm.  Put another way, if you use an atomic/other external clock standard to supply a 10Mhz pulse... 
Rubidium Clock
I've done a lot more research in this regard and have had a number of conversations with SRS as well as other options. The lead-time on the PERF10 or FS725 is longer than I would like to wait personally and my RFQs out to LibertyTest, AllTest and ... 
Can I use S.S. 10M Rubidium Audio Clock alone in my K-03X?

$16K new/used speaker question?
Legacy Audio Focus SE or AERIS fits that price range (depending upon finish chosen) new, and is well under that range used. They are 95-96db efficient and a nominal 4-ohm load so not 8-ohm but may be worth looking into. I believe your BAT gear can...

No doubt this contributes in many cases to people spending time on other forums elsewhere though each of the other options has its positives and negatives (many use antiquated forum-style thread-view user interfaces which I happen not to like pers... 
Can I use S.S. 10M Rubidium Audio Clock alone in my K-03X?
Yes you can use the K-03x, K-01x or any other Esoteric device that accepts a 10Mhz master clock input sync connection with an SRS PERF10 or other 10Mhz master clock. You won't get the 44.1 or multiples of that clock frequency like the G-series clo...

"Epic" compositions worth giving a spin

15A vs. 20A power cord questions
I did not find the GTX-D Rhodium or Gold outlets to be loose on any blade; I did not find them to have the heavy locking behavior of my old Oyaide R1s either.  The GTX-Ds were easy to work with when it came to stock power cords and the blades coul... 
15A vs. 20A power cord questions
asp307: What I meant was their first point at which I considered them and the sound profile of the system with them, fully broken in. I heard another increase in sound quality somewhere in the 1000-1500 hour range; after that, no other increases i... 
Esoteric SACD Titles
They are excellent....and the folks at Esoteric have pulled out some great out performances to work their magic upon. They are pricey but definitely worth it.  Another source of great discs remastered and laid down with vinyl-like quality and soun...
