How relative is relative?

At what price point does expensive start, 10k, 20k, 30k, 40, 100k? Do you know retail price of my system? How do you know it's "relatively inexpensive"?

I don't need tweeks because I don't think that they can make my system any better, for me a system has to be neutral and without audible flaws, distortion etc., and I think that my system fulfills these my requirements.

Mr. Chip inexpensive, come on, at a rate of 1,20 per CD it may well be a major investment for some.

Did I dismiss chippie out of hand? I said that I don't believe it can do any good (or harm) to a CD and that no sighted listening test will be able to prove the contrary. But now that we all have read your fantastic explanation and observed your elegant manner of not answering questions, I'm sure, and I'm not alone, that chippie is a fake.

As I've said somewhere in the past, I could have used any audio tweek for "campaigning", chippie just happened to look quite extraordinarly fakey. Honestly, I think that chippie is just the tip of the iceberg and that when I or others looked in appropriate detail into other audio accessories and their underlying theories, and that includes cables, the results would very likely be the same: no evidence, a "scientific" explanation with lots of holes, loads of positive comments based on sighted listening, the usual high-end rubbish. Sorry, I don't buy that anymore.
