Hyperbole Watchdog Forum

An interesting idea just occured to me.

I would like to start a thread to keep a running account of AudiogoN'ers who engage in excessive use of hyperbole.

A couple of ground rules are in order:

1) The Cable Forum is completely off limits as it is inherently riddled with the stuff. In fact, one might argue that the high-end cable market wouldn't exist without such outlandish claims as "my jaw dropped to the floor" when referring to an interconnect.

2) No need to name names or offer any editorial comment. If it's hyperbole, just quoting the offender should speak for itself.

So how 'bout it? A little levity to keep things loose could go a long way in a hobby where we can sometimes take ourselves a little too seriously.

I'll start: An Audiogon'er referring to placing isolation feet under his audio rack.

"The system was for the first time tonally balanced, the bass response increased, the sound stage widened, the noise floor dropped, there was greater depth, increased clarity, and most importantly the brightness and harshness had completely disappeared!"
