Calm down dears!

Someone believes he has done something which improves sound quality,
and says so.  The claims may appear to be somewhat grandiose, but in
themselves they are harmless.  People can no more prove them false than
he can prove them true, unless a randomised double-blind test is
performed with a reasonably large sample of people, and then duplicated
by others.  

Saying they cannot make a difference may seem 'logical' by working out
what they might be able to change, but it isn't proof.

It is entirely up to the reader whether they want to try it or not. 
The only qualifier I would add is that tinkering with stuff has risks
and can have unintended and unexpected consequences, as I have found
far too often to my cost, but all my fault.  

However, I'd like to suggest that if people are going to make proposals
for changes they are explicit about their environment (this may well
have been stated in an earlier post but I'm not going to read all of
them to try and find out).  So, for instance, I use the analogue out,
not having a decent DAC to hand.  I have no idea whatsoever whether the
suggested priority changes are thought to apply to digital out, or to
analogue, or both.  Naysayers may well say neither, since they believe
none of it can change anything anyway.

None of this matters.  It's a hobby.  People tinker (or not) for fun. 
I do not, for a moment, expect to get 100% accurate advice &
information from these forums (or should that be fora? :) ).  I get
ideas and solutions which I try or not at my own risk.  On occasions I
make suggestions which may or may not help others.

As others keep saying - listen to the music.
