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.

My all-time favorite post in English (though I believe that the posters native language was French) is...

"It was if I were in the listening room."

"Rare" is the worst. Especially when it comes time for that rare piece of equipment requiring parts or repair.

Outside of hyperbole, the classic "my kid pushed in the tweeter/dust cap... does not affect sound." Uh-huh.
