an unfortunate spelling error at Wyred4Sound
« on: 18 Jan 2014, 08:06 pm »
I'm shopping for a new integrated amp,  and am checking out Class D from Bel Canto,  Rogue,  PeachTree, and Wyred4Sound.  I go to the Wyred4Sound website and look at their mini-integrated.   On the back of the chassis they have spelled it incorrectly as "integraded"   (see link below).   Mind you this is actually on the chassis,  not a manual or brochure.

I go to various reviews on the web,  and sure enough,  their pics show the same thing.  I wonder if they've caught the error by now?  To make matters worse,  on the page linked above,  the 6 Moons Award for the Mini also has a glaring spelling error.     Too funny....

Come ON people!  You just make yourselves look silly  :duh:

I'd imagine that had 100's of those cases made up and to change the printing would have been really expensive to go back and fix.

Well you can't be good at everything and I suppose those proof readers can get expensive.   :roll:

They're hardly the only ones. I've seen more spelling errors on audio product websites than about any other type of business I can think of.

Like the Zombies' last album: Odessey and Oracle. From what I've read, that one was NOT misspelled on purpose...

Some feel W4S's whole brand is an unfortunate spelling error.

Yes, it looks stupid but at least no one has their life at stake.

Have you noticed a softening of consonants in the speech of younger Americans. Maybe they just sounded it out the way they say it.

It drives me nuts to hear people say impordan. Or stew dent.

Aw they've been doing it that way in Arkansas for years.
With regards to the amp, that might make it a collectors item some day!

In the 2008 re-release. Rod Argent -


"The misspelling was a glitch that I denied for years. We told the cover designer the correct title of the album. For years, I tried to cover this up by saying it was a play on the word 'ode' to describe the songs. But that wasn't true!"

It turns out the 6 moons "Realsization" isn't a spelling error, it's some enlightened new word they adopted / created.  Go figure.
