Have ordered my custom crystal oscillators from International Crystal Manufacturing Company

http://www.icmfg.com/

It is a bit pricy, $25 per oscillator but not end of the world. The lead time 2 week and I am very excited to see how it will end up. As now the Schwarz gets WCRB very good and the common practice do not trouble troubles until troubles trouble you. Still, my associates are convincing me that crystal oscillator feeding the Schwarz’s mixer shall be much better. I am sure that quartz oscillator is the best generator with lover theoretically possible noise but still I wools like to hear if this theoretical “better” will manifest itself in the final Schwarz’s sonic output. Schwarz permits to use dual oscillators, crystal and own local electronic and to flip between then by the use of a switch in the front panel. The Schwarz also allow to measure the output of the crystal oscillator and to tune the after oscillator filtration (!) to the frequency of the local oscillator.  I hope the WCRB outputs exactly the 99.5MHz, BTW I will need to measure precision of the WCRB caring frequency.
