Note that the Rb audio timing unit also provides an input for an external 10
MHz reference. So the discerning audiophile can use his cesium if the
rubidium drift becomes intolerable.

Do the cheap fluke units allow locking to a 1 pps signal? If so, you could
sell a GPS locked version for even more!
The point made in
http://www.g8wrb.org/useful-stuff/pdf/audiophools.pdf
is that the people that do this sort of thing must have pretty deep
pockets, which you don't associate with stupid people. (There are
exceptions of course). There was a guy I was at school with. His parents
were richer than most of us in the working class area of Walthamstow, East
London.
He did advanced level (A-level) in physics, chemistry and maths, just like
me. He used speaker cables that had arrows on them pointing in the
direction the music was supposed to flow. I asked him why. He could not
offer any explanation of any logic for this, but still bought them, as he
could afford to.

Must get some of that high purity 6N copper wire.......
