You know when you are dealing with a BS company....

...when you read statements like this:

"You can expect a 15% to 20% improvement in sound for each level as you move up the line. The improvements are in soundstage, resolution, realism, musical presentation, impact, etc."

Me: yeah, the humidity in my room changed from 44 to 45% yesterday, and I immidiately noticed that the realism dropped by 3.4%, yet the musical presentation actually WENT UP by 8.3%. I was able to compensate by turning the lights on in the kitchen and changed my socks. Puh, that was close.

I am sure there a LOTS of similar examples out there for marketing that promises "15% increase in happiness" for your dollars. 

And that is dumb enough. 

But making quantitive statements about non measurable for a technical product is pretty bad. 

The WORST: the level of dumbness of American consumers (even for technical products) has reached a historic high (I present as proof the number of posters here that have not even recognized the nuttiness of the given example ad). THAT IS SCARY.

What company selling anything doesn't make bombastic claims.

"You can expect a 15% to 20% improvement in sound for each level as you move up the line."

I think you are misunderstanding what they are saying. I think they are saying that there is a 15-20% difference between each level of cable. Not a 15-20% improvement in your system sound but a 15-20% change in relation to the small change a cable makes. So 15-20% to the 1% change (SWAG) a cable makes.

So if they have 5-6 different cables the dearest is going to be 100% better than the cheapest.

That's some outrageous claim! A really extraordinary claim. Perhaps 1-2% might be more in the ballpark.
