FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED


Sharing an important issue you all may or may not already be aware of. Gene from audioholics did a full video on this linked below. The FTC may end the amplifier rule so that companies can go back to making misleading claims on power output of their amplifiers. We should all get on the govt website and comment to try to stop this from happening!

@audio2design I agree with everything you said. If the rule was removed due to lack of action from the community I don't want to hear a single complaint against faulty and misleading specs. 
The best thing about regulations enforced by the government is that government workers can’t be fired for incompetence.
back in the 70's, many companys rated their units at like 200 watts when they were actually 10 watts! doe's anyone remember this??
@g_nakamoto If you haven't done so already please comment on the govt response page. The deadline is Feb 16th. That is exactly what this measure aims to stop. 
I thought that it had already been done away with years ago because you do not see ul listed or ftc power ratings on anything anymore and most gear does not list impedance or power consumption anymore either and i can tell you that the power ratings have been messed up for years because of this.
