How come many of the really strange audiophiles are from an island northwest
of France?

Granted, the great Williamson audio design came from there, and the
wonderful audio output tubes - but it seems like perhaps the German bombs
had a more serious effect than we first imagined.

I remember reading critiques of audio equipment decades ago.  The reviewers
were British and they had long words to describe the qualities.  When I got
done reading the article, I was not sure whether they liked the amplifier or
not.  I thought it was a passing fad and that the acquisition of
refrigerators to replace the ice man would bring normalcy to the island.

But, apparently it continues.  Is audiospeak a required subject in school?
And, how did my son learn of these traditions?  Since he insists on the gold
plated audio cables for his 800 watt car stereo, should I inquire to see if
he is more British than his mother or me?

Always more questions than answers on this reflector.
