Thank you for your courteous reply.
So, Joseph, under your reasoning all (1), (2) and (3) explanations given for the RR-77 are in place ? The only one I was questioning was (1) i.e 'having an effect on the audio signal'.

However Joseph, surely, if you are correct in your explanation then why are some people so surprised by the effect of the RR-77 on their sound ? People who I would have regarded as quite intelligent and well informed would, surely, have just shrugged their shoulders at any improvements they heard and commented "Well, one would expect it to have that effect on the audio signal - no big deal" ?

It is exactly their surprise at their results after trying the RR-77 device that I touch on in my article just published in Positive Feedback Online. And, if the RR-77 device is having the effect you describe on the audio signal travelling through the audio equipment, then why are not the manufacturers and distributors of audio equipment ALL using the RR-77 in their demonstration rooms at Hi Fi Shows ? If the RR-77 device is doing what you suggest it is doing, then simple logic tells me that some of the worst environments in which to demonstrate Hi Fi equipment are Hi Fi Shows and Hi Fi Retailer's demonstration rooms - choc-a-block full of audio equipment - and therefore in dire need of such devices !!!

This next part is not specifically aimed at you Joseph, it is a general comment and observation because I see it as within ONE "world of audio" - ONE audio world covering manufacturers, retailers and the buying public (who are also quite knowledgeable regarding audio matters). I am still on the subject of 'surprise' - surprise at the effect of something on 'the sound' and it is about the latest coverage of 'cable elevators'. It is the same inclusive 'ONE world of audio' but with completely conflicting viewpoints - and, I suppose, these conflicting viewpoints stretching back over 20 years to when Enid Lumley described being able to improve her sound by lifting the cables up from the floor with strips of string or cotton.

On the one hand we have the latest article on the Dark Field Cable Elevators from Shunyata Research in Positive Feedback Online describing improvements in sound gained by using 'cable elevators' and these improvements also confirmed by others 'posting' on Audio Asylum. Yet, on the other hand we have 'postings' on the Stereophile Chat Forum ridiculing the whole idea !!

Regards,
May Belt.
