" Ad A catalogue, Russ Andrews The Big Book 06/07, selling home entertainment electrical accessories, made various claims about their products. Issue A customer challenged the claims: 1. "The key to success of our PowerKords is KIMBER's unique cable weave which has proven to dramatically reduce Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) already on the mains supply and to reject further pick up of RFI ...", because he believed the PowerKord cable would have little affect on conducted electromagnetic interference; 2. "... Distortion levels inside equipment is vastly reduced, letting you hear a sound that is vastly clearer and purer, more detailed and far more dynamic ...", because he believed the Signature PowerKord cable would have little affect on measurable distortion in hi-fi equipment, and 3. "... eliminate system sound fluctuation and help to create a super-quiet noise floor, allowing more believable dynamics, deeper bass and lower high frequency distortion ... Listen out for a quieter noise floor (expect more dynamic music and greater detail) and a much more cohesive musical sound ....", because he believed the advertised spike-protecting devices would have little affect on the noise floor in hi-fi equipment. " Conclusion: The British Advertising Standards Association said: "We told Russ Andrews not use the claims again unless they could substantiate them with robust scientific evidence. " |
