Default High End Hyperbole

How about High End Technobabble
every couple of months I pick up a copy of one of the high end audio mags
just to reassure myself that I am not missing anything. it seems that the
same templates are pulled off MSWord to describe the high end frisson etc.,
etc.

keep feeding the quacking geese.

A great deal of comment is made about the hyperbole surrounding the
advertising copy for many high end audio products. Some of this hyperbole
makes some sense. Much does not. Much deserves to be criticised

accordingly.
However, we rarely see comments about mass market products. I thought

you'd
enjoy these words I found in the Marantz SR18 receiver service manual:

---
DTS
An amazing new technology for surround-sound entertainment, DTS Digital
Surround is an encode/decode system that delivers six channels (5.1) of
master-quality, 20-bit audio. ........SNIP
......Each of these six channels is audibly superior to the linear PCM

audio
found on conventional compact discs.

Hmmm.
