Audio World.
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
Throughout the history of marketing of all kinds of consumer goods there have been many useless, hyperbole phrases and words used. It seems on ebay, here, craigslist and others a current pet of Sellers is taking something to "the next level".... which sounds like a great marketing term for an elevator maker.

To me it's the supremacy of the "mike feed". What we hear in the studio listening to the mike feed is not what the mike actually captured, but it's the sound of the monitor amp / speaker. So, if it "sounds just like the mike feed" it means your amps / speakers sound just like the ones that were used in that specific recording studio.Nothing more, nothing less. Also,"best", "next level", "perfection" - these do not mean anything as there are at least a dozen of these coming out every month.. |
I would much rather they compare the velocity of a tweeter’s diaphragm with an unladen swallow. What do you mean? African or European swallow??! https://youtu.be/uio1J2PKzLI?t=10 |

I too am wary of terms like "reference" and phrases such as "state of the art", but when used by an experienced reviewer, who I have followed over the years and who subsequently purchases the item for use in his/her review system, this certainly carries more weight for me. Hyperbole is the stock in trade of some reviewers. |
