Arny, there was absolutely nothing unclear about "IOW I treated it like it was a humorous (sarcastic) response." However what I was referring to when I wrote "I have no idea what you're talking about" was the first quote above: "It appears that the fact that I correctly interpreted Ralph's post as being a response to Mnyb's questionable post may have missed you." Perhaps you can explain what this means. Please keep in mind that I'm not trying to pick a fight with you since I am for the most part on your side with respect to the vast majority of audiophile claims, claims that, more often than not, run counter to science. I know that you have been fighting the good fight against the anti-science audiophile crowd for longer than you might care to admit and that you have gone into the lion's den more than once. And as is always the case when one tries to speak truth to power, you have had your character attacked and ridiculed. That is the nature of the beast when it comes to truth, power and money - many of these false audiophile claims are used as a basis for selling a vastly overpriced and completely useless product and making lots and lots of money. With money one is then able to buy protection, which in the audiophile world is not some henchman willing to break a few bones, but rather a few self appointed "experts" willing to write and publish the most outrageous fictions in support of both the false claims and the overpriced "solutions". Now that I have a better understanding of jitter I can sit back and watch as the audiophile "experts", working hand in hand with various manufacturers, create a whole market segment dedicated to solving a problem which doesn't exist. It's sad, funny and infuriating, all at the same time.
