Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.
It goes all the way back to "XXXXXX washes whiter".
The advertising standards people accept that unsupportable claims and superlatives will get used. They assume that the public will not believe them. Advertisers get into trouble when they make statements which can be objectively proven or disproven.
The whole 'high-end' hifi industry is founded on a complete aversion to any form of objectivity, so there is nothing there for advertising standards laws to get a grip on.
I think I'm going to save Andy's phrasing for future enjoyment!
