Mr. Rankin:
Somebody on another board claims you did not have a hand in designing the Jitterbug, which I do NOT believe. (I think you did design it and just purchased one.)
I can provide a link. Can you comment?

Let's see a link. Gordon is one of the best and most honest guys in field. Love to see what moron said that...
Post #109.
This will be my one and only post on the subject of who designed JitterBug.
Gordon Rankin is the head designer of AudioQuest's JitterBug (and DragonFly and the forthcoming Beetle asynchronous USB, asynchronous Bluetooth, optical Toslink DAC) Dual-Circuit USB Line Conditioner. In addition to Gordon we received a tremendous amount of invaluable input from our own Garth Powell. Along the way we relied on Bill Low and Joe Harley for their sonic opinions. The end result is a product we feel very thrilled to have created.

Steve, I think you have a winner.. I was prompted to get one after reading the AudioStream review. I have a Wyrd & the J'Bug works very nicely with it; I am pleased. The investment is modest; it is passive & portable which means you can take it to the office etc. etc.. All adds up to a very marketable product that will suit audiophiles & non-audiophiles who are interested in improving sound quality.
Glad to hear it's also sounding good with your Wyrd - Audiostream review hinted at as much but there's more confirmation of synergy with the Uptone Regen than the Wyrd, that I can find. My combo is also sounding good/better.
I did run into the problem (similar to Lavorgna's original Jitterbug review where he had to use a USB extension cable - which seems less than optimal to me sonically or otherwise - to fit two Jitterbugs next to each other on a Macbook's USB ports) of another filter I have made by Alan Maher Designs, which is just a standard USB A connector and a thin ground cord, not fitting next to the Jitterbug on my DAC's motherboard USB bus, so I had to crack open the thing with a razor blade and small hammer and do a makeshift Faraday around it with some EMF/RFI absorbing material for the hell of it. I was surprised how much plastic the thing has, it really is sort of unnecessary and bulky, but removing it solved the crowding issue. Of course, I've voided any potential warranty or return, but the thing is $50.
Anyway, have another one on order from MusicDirect, and can confirm they're also giving out late September estimates for their next batch.
I'm looking forward to trying 2. Gordon designs great stuff.
Steve, thank you for posting and clarifying. I had no doubt Mr. Rankin was the designer so when I saw that post, after simply googling "Jittebug Reviews", I was quite taken aback at the posters arrogance.
Note a follow up post by his engineer "buddy" who claims to know Mr. Rankin and it seems was the source.
Thanks again.
Oh that moron.... figures. He also posts on CA... Dumber than driftwood...
Oh really? Never heard of him..but a review of his posts shows he is an utter blowhard and a buffoon pretending to be an "expert". The thread came up in a search on the Jitterbug.
I read some more of the thread, it is also amazing how much of wind bag the site founder is and dallass has head up amir butt... The HFNRR review was mentioned but dallass is waiting for amir's measurements. LOL

OK, do you STILL think Gordon should comment?
The sad part is I think he has more friends then me.
Infamous sockpuppet
Not so sure I'm comfortable living in a world where 'friend' is a verb.
If some one was spreading misinformation about me and tarnishing my reputation I sure would.
Oh, wait...
Sorry, never mind. :-(
ba-doom tisshhh
Infamous sockpuppet
I'm always amazed at the activity that site has, it seems to fly under the radar when googling things.
Perhaps the forum software is more conducive to longer threads.
The threads here fall apart after page 2, they become to hard to follow between the way the quoting works and the posts that usually disappear in discussions that big.
Anybody else think that site is creepy?
I know there are wackos here, but I feel I probably wouldn't like anybody there. lol
Whats best?
Infamous sockpuppet
Creepy indeed
