Not to start silly OT flame wars, but this is the kind of comment 
that made me get into audio recording to begin with. Too many pro 
audio folks have a habit of treating the audiophile community like a 
bunch of wackos, when they really could be learning a great deal 
about maximizing their recording gear with some basic (and 
scientific!)audiophile principles and tweaks. For an example, 
generally accepted DAW issues such as clock jitter and sampling rates 
had been discussed (and complained about) within the audiophile 
community long before they were even acknowledged and addressed by 
pro audio. Not that I don't have a sense of humor, but laughing at 
such reasonable concepts as power conditioning and vibration control 
is a bit closed minded. Oh, by the way, the hanging banana will 
compress your mids and narrow the soundstage if it isn't fully 
ripe. :)
