    FTC Amplifier Rule

    I'm fine with sticking with 1% THD+N. If you can't see amp clipping on an OScope, than it's legit real power IMO. I think we need some enforcement of # of channels driven though or a way to test max capability of the power supply.

    FTC Amplifier Rule

    I spoke to David Salz too. Strange dude. He tried to convince me that if I drove to his headquarters and set up a proper blind test, I'd be able to identify his speaker cables as "Better" than the competition 100% of the time, yet wouldn't send me a sample to conduct the test at my own place...
