It was not a personal question. It was more a question about scale of value.
All human activities, am-i wrong ? have for goal to bring us pleasure (or comfort, what is the same). The scientific demarch to discover the laws of our universe is the pleasure to satisfy our native curiosity. And to can modify our environment the way we like (with often more negative effects than good ones on the long run ;-).
Artists do the same. Exactly the same. By an opposite approach. Who dares to deny that they sometimes give us a lot of pleasure ? And, by the way, no one had produced an atomic bomb.
Audiophiles ? They just take the artistic path on a more or less scientific road (technology). They buy magic cables ? What can-we say ? If their pleasure is to own an expensive and good looking gear. ...To be hype in the image they make of themselves. I don't give a damn.
People that sell those cables ? They satisfy a request. Just like Rolls Royce sellers.
Steve Jobs, at the door of his death wrote a will. The great prophet has just become aware of the derisory of our lives. He was anxious to inform humanity of what many of the ants in the anthill already knew. I found it touching... and derisory.
The pain we can do to those around us is not. I hope you see the correlation with this thread.

Good of you to admit making a trollish comment
I learnt it all from you, dear chap.
Yes, but not quite! He was famous for asking when a decision needed to be made and then spending the time being sure it was researched no matter how obvious it seemed.
Apparently the time frame given before using traditional treatment was too long.
As to parentage, that took a DNA test to resolve doubt.
However he still was politely put still quite a jerk.
Yes, that's the memory backup types I had in mind, I forgot the ESR is that high.
That 44R ESR in series with 'infinite' capacitance (300,000UF+) constitutes damping/dumping of supply perturbations down to 'DC or so' like I mentioned. There are plenty of similarly low and extremely low ESR versions easily available now, have you tried other types and values in series with different selected resistor values and resistor types ?.
Yes, changing the really close in low Hz 'vibrato' jitter will change sound significantly.....what are the graphed measurements ?.
So easy to do, any changes in magnitude or spectrum of low frequency jitter is audible, such ultracaps will cause change in character of ULF jitter but not solely because of supply smoothing/damping I think.
I am using different method to control/customise the nature of clocking in my system and the results are very clearly audible. Clock 'nature' is everything in digital systems and constitutes 'voicing' when not exactly pure. White spectrum jitter is ignored by the ear and presents as information loss but without 'signature', pink jitter spectrum is noticeable.
Pure and white/pink clock can get boring, 'flavoured' jitter can remaster playback and fix recordings that are not quite 'right'. If bass is a bit shy in a recording I can boost and 'fatten' the bottom end by inserting gold into the oscillator sound, if the recording is a bit dull I can clarify and 'brighten' the mid/highs by adding silver into the oscillator sound, or I can add both to fatten and brighten, this is real tone control. By your descriptions Joe and Merrill, I expect you are adding carbon sound jitter into your systems and this may be part reason for preference of supercapped DAC/clock stages.

Dan, do you really believe alchemy is the best way to transform the lead in gold ?
I'm waiting for MM, Joe, and JC to chime in that this on the right track.
I try not to think that hard, I've seen where it lead(s)......
That reminds me of someone here

T, you can jest all you like at what I describe, gold and silver are not the only sonic 'flavourings' available.
Imagine if you could have had a mastering processor box in the studio with a compartment into which you could put acoustic 'seasonings and spices' and produce a sound signature unique to each artist and according to the clients taste, and in addition to or instead of the studio's tired same old analog outboard loop but with slightly different settings each time.
I have this technique already, it's not imagination, it's not magic, it's just how materials affect and effect materials, entanglement in action.

Is this leads, or is it strands?
Dan,
You are unrelentingly consistent in your belief in what you are doing. Not once have you ever made a slip. Whether you are right or wrong, I have not the slightest idea, but do buy me a pint when you win.

It could all be hanging by a very fine thread
And get rather twisted.
