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.

Seems like a lot of criticism for cable’s marketing hype which is designed to differentiate themselves from the crowded field and to obviously stimulate sales.

How should a cable manufacturer market their product?  If they spent a considerable amount of time and effort to develop a good sounding product, I think it’s unfair to expect them publish their findings so that the competition can easily copy.

I surmise that this whole OP started is when the marketing material used “numbers” that really bother some analytical person thinking “you can’t use numbers based on nothing”.  Really puts a bee in their bonnet.

Frankly, if I don't trust their marketing, then I don't trust the company. 

Ha! That includes most cable companies, and might as well lump in all the other marketing BS we get bombarded with in the media.
