Audiopile hyperbole, reference, SOTA, ultimate and more...


This is not to be a put-down, just wanting to hear from my fellow Audiopiles on some 
of the hyperbole/over used non-tech terms used in advertising items on this site.  It 
would seem that many of us in this wonderful hobby have taken "creative writing" 
courses. 

And there is always the condition words...ie:  Mint, Like-New, ___ hours or less, 

This is to be fun, if you are offended...well then that is part of the fun.

I agree with the "smoke free" thought.  I purchased an item that had the strongest cigarette smoke smell that I had no luck in getting out.  Sold it at a loss and posted the info about it having a strong smoke smell as I wanted a/the Buyer to know what they were getting. 




Non-technical terms? You mean like advanced, space qualified or NASA grade, quantum, entanglement and mind-matter interaction? 👨‍🚀
Posting this thread after only one day and it is mint, the ultimate reference thread, totally SOTA for audiopiles. I love it and you can read all the great reviews, its universally well-regarded, and on Stereopiles Recommended Threads List. Only selling because I am upgrading to the contact cleaner thread. 

Serious replies only please.
