What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"

Snake Oil... If it works for you, it's the greatest thing in the world. "Try it you'll like it"  (you older folks will remember this one although nothing to do with audio).

Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel)
I'm a big fan of dedicated 2 channel, my two channel system has tubes... Tubes do have their issues but they transduce complex harmonics better than SS unless... you spend some serious cash. So back to your question, I also have a dedicated HT in ...

Good Product or Nonsense?
Been using Optrix for years on my DVD/Blue Ray rentals bc they are filthy and these business's use some kind of Meyer product on them after kids with peanut butter and chocolate have been handling them.  Really not to concerned about the 'sonic im...

I don't think PT Barnum is a man we should be so enamored with...“Every crowd has a silver lining.”   Good grief, he made million$ charging people 2 or 4 bits to see a circus during a time in America (depression era) when most people were starving...

   Wowsers there Mr. Geoffkait, at some time a wise man was quoted as saying... 'Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood'   The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Dr. Stephen Covey. Part of Dr. Covey's message (addressed in Habit 5: Se...

Hmmm, not really about QP.  Well someone asked about 'Pebbles' so I beg to differ... This is not the way I like to mention this bc I can't backup my claim but a couple months ago I was reading a blog or forum about how Bybee Technologies products ...

Even though I'm ignorant about such things QP, I will say... well said Mr. John1, I had to be reminded that molecules don't move (another well said by Mr. Tobor), charge does... Hmmm, ever been shocked?I like the part though about 'trust your ears...
