RE: Here you go......

"Same inmate suggested partitioning a SSD to localize wear to the partition being written to. That doesn't work. Lost credibility again. Shall I dig that one up too?"

You may be right, but the verification would depend on details of SSD firmware, operating system drivers and file system software. At the time, I didn't particularly care, as I had reached the conclusion that SSDs were not (yet) mature technology and therefore not to be trusted with my precious data....

If you were arguing that most people tweaking computer audio systems don't have a clue as to what is going on, then I would agree with you. I would put myself in the same category since it has been decades since I had direct access to hardware and software designers and access to hardware logic diagrams and software source code. This is why I believe that tweaking operating systems for better sound quality will ultimately prove to be a futile effort, since it is vastly more difficult than simply designing and building proper isolation into DACs and downstream analog equipment. (If you are unsatisfied with the sound you get with your existing hardware, then these tweaks may be the best available alternative.)
