On the Bay of Ees

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Some guy is selling a Yamaha CA-800 integrated amp (which can be used as a very nice 10 watt per channel class A power amp) as "Vintage Yamaha CA 800 Reciever AMP WORKS!"
and claims " Reviews are off the charts. This is considered the best receiver on the Vintage market."

I emailed him, "It's not a receiver, it's an integrated amp. Who says it's the best vintage receiver? Please, no Trumpian "truthful hyperbole.""

Every time someone lies or "hyperbolates" it damages our community. I still may bid on the thing, as I know and like the piece. But I'm wary of the seller.

FWIW, I don't think that is hyperbole as much as a misguided choice of terminology - mhardy6647 05:48:14 05/21/17 (0)
