"What are you calling minutae, and why?"
An example: the perceived benefits of addressing the usually huge and readily audible problems associated with improper grounding of multi component systems will in many cases far outweigh the benefit of addressing some lower energy noise problem where the effects falls well under the noise floor of the larger problem.
Not to accuse anyone one in particular of incorporating improper grounding techniques. The point is it is nearly impossible to know from which level of experience and success each poster speaks. I've seen spectral plots of sampled analog inputs by guys who I'd figured had it together suggesting severe setup flaws. I've learned to try not to over/under estimate anybody I don't know.

Thank you for your response.
Certainly improper grounding either by the manufacturer of 1 component, - or inherent in the system due to a grounding mismatch is a BIGGER issue than a SATA cable in the transport.
Likely, however, a big issue like that would've reared its ugly head long before FMAK or anyone got involved with a computer as transport.
Someone with Fred's experiences and knowledge shouldn't be questioned on the former IMO: especially given the history of his posts, and his related experiences with other components. AND, as Carcass pointed out, this is just about the easiest thing that anyone could try, the difference between a $.90 and at most, $40 shielded cable that anyone can unplug from the mainboard, and into their internal HD.
I have to agree that this giant thread is a "cult of personality" thing where anything that Fred says, (even if he agreed with the 'computers are wonderful' party line), he'd get piles of shite thrown at him.
"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
I have used one point grounding and ac isolation for over 30 years. It is a given and I don't know why you had assumed that I placed Sata cables ahead of this.
Do you ground the various lumps of metal in your PCs? Even manufacturers with 'tested' machine don't.
Considering this was an answer to another poster, I see little point in explaining myself here other than to ask how could I possibly know your views on grounding until you just said so. I barely know anything about you. The original statement was obviously stated in the context that "most cases" of posts of random posters found here are likely users that have no clue about rf grounding. I still think that. That I even went on to state further down in my response to sordidman that I wasn't trying to specifically accuse you of poor grounding still I get this apparent temper tantrum.
"Do you ground the various lumps of metal in your PCs? Even manufacturers with 'tested' machine don't."
Please be more specific.
ask and please don't preach.
There is only one inmate that I won't respond to when asked, because, when you reply to one question, he asks ten others that either circumnavigate or show off his own 'knowledge' of everything.
I would hate to have been his employee and in any case, I used to deal with such people fairly effectively ie become his/her boss, or go elsewhere.
