To answer your first point. What you said was, "Any claim that all audio systems have problems with poor SI is obviously false." Perhaps I misconstrued your remark, so please explain how that was not an inference that JS/Uptone are claiming that all audio systems have SI issues? Secondly I think you're barking up the wrong tree here, Arny. The correct and proper person to take this up with would be John Swenson. He's truly the only one out there that can back up (or not) the why's and how's of his product design. Perhaps in the context of a private conversation with him you might learn more about his engineering theory and designs. Without that, you and everybody else are just speculating. A decent amount of what you say makes sense. I don't know you and maybe we'd enjoy each other's company in person but, frankly, the tone that you take is pedantic and off-putting and I doubt it's just me that has this take---whether one agrees or disagrees with your opinions. Between you and jkeny it's definitely oil and water. Somewhat amusing to watch but hard to get through the rhetoric. I think your style gets in the way of your substance. And I'd say the same to jkeny. Rg System information ------------------------ Main: Vortexbox/Squeezelite > USB> Benchmark DAC2 D > LFD LE IV Signature amp > Revel Performa F208 speakers.
