Software developer (in love with C++). Hardware geek (FPGA's, STM32, AVR, crazy stuff from discrete components), love LED indicators (7-segment, alphanumeric). Trying to understand ASIC design & manufacturing better at the moment. Also, trying to wrap my head around lens design, but that is not going to be that easy.

@clabacchio Hehe, awesome photo, but MEMS also feels similar to crystal in terms of limitations.

@Olin Lathrop i see, but if we do LC-opamp-LC-opamp-LC-opamp... so that any energy loss on each stage is recovered and we are getting narrower bandwidth?

@Olin Lathrop Hmm, wouldn't having multiple LC circuits do a better job?

@Kortuk - well, I need 'comparable to crystal' stability, so somewhere at +-10-100 ppm at the worst case.

@Olin Lathrop The problem here is that there are dozens of different cuts for the same frequency, and I don't know what are generic cuts used for each frequency.

yep :-) Without these second-hand rubidium clocks I would never afford to buy atomic clock :-D

Yes, I am aiming for oven-controlled crystal operation. I already running NTP server by myself, and typically have absolute errors of 2-4ms through the day, but if internet is down, it drifts pretty heavily. Now I want to step up the game, add few servers with primary clock source (GLONASS & Atomic) and number of secondary servers with oven-controlled oscillators so that I can stay under 1ms error without external reference for quite a while. I going to get bunch of "old" crystals (so that there is less aging), and choose best of these. Now I only have to figure out type of crystals I need.

I agree with your point, although I don't need much details ) Just need to know which of these is the most precise in general. Let me remove redundant questions...
