New level of ridiculousness
I see value in this product. Now, given my disposable income and current hierarchy of needs, I place significantly less value on the strip than the offered price. But that’s true for just about every thing I buy. I wait for sales, I buy things use...

"You mean I DIDN'T get "the best deal in the universe”?”You might have; it’s just hard to verify. :-) 
New level of ridiculousness
Hi Whart, that’s it exactly. Examples might be: a used car dealer claiming "best deals in the universe"; a diner claiming "apple pie better than mom’s” or a power strip manufacturer using the word “magical” anywhere.

"Creates a new standard in magic sound staging" Veridian, That’s just puffing. I don’t think anybody takes that type of general claim seriously. What I had in mind was when a company advances a product’s specific claims using a bunch a meaningless...

It might be comforting to think of audiophiles as having a single noble purpose; particularly when the vast majority of the world would call us all a bunch of nuts if, of course, the vast majority of the world even knew we existed. But we don’t al...

“Now do you get it? :-)"Maril555, Yeah, you’re right. Even with the smiley face, that still comes off sounding haughty. I’m sorry, that wasn’t my frame of mind.

Maril555, that power strip has about as much to do with accurate audio as an IWC Grande Complication has to do with keeping accurate time. Presumably, the person who buys that strip lives in a palace and adorns his audio room with masterpieces of ... 
Vapor Cirrus Black vs dc10 Berlin Studio Monitor
No! I’m Spartacus - I, I mean I’m Ryan; no! I mean.... I’m so confused... 
Vapor Cirrus Black vs dc10 Berlin Studio Monitor
In the spirit of “there is no such thing as bad publicity”, I suspect that Jp1208 is, in reality, (ta-da) Ryan of Vapor himself :-) 
When's enough, enough?
"When's enough, enough?"When reproduced music is indistinguishable from live or I run out of money. I’ll run out of money first but that doesn't mean I don’t enjoy and appreciate what I have.
