why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Here is an active link to the final ruling. The BBB comparison is not quite fair as the ASA is a statutory body (ie a government agency), more like the FDA ruling on a drug claim https://www.asa.org.uk/rulings/russ-andrews-accessories-ltd-a13-228690.html |
@geoffkait I believe this is the lawsuit in question. Advertising standards fraud claims are quite a thing in the U.K. ... https://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/01/13/russ_accessories/ but they won on appeal https://www.whathifi.com/news/russ-andrews-wins-asa-case-and-cleared-misleading-consumers sounds like a win for those among us who spend on accessories no? ps the links to the underlying rulings are dead as they are over five years old and the ASA removes all the older links |
I found the following interview interesting -- clearly Chris has put a lot of time and thought into his designs and his commitment to bringing cables at very accessible prices is admirable (I still fondly remember my Illumanti D60 back in the day). Also I really relate to his business philosophy https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2018/03/20/black-cat-cable-a-history-with-founder-chris-sommovigo/ |
