Arny. I don't know what the situation is in your part of
the world, but here in Scandinavia, where people probably
have more disposable income, and hopefully a higher level
of taste/expectation, tube amps have the majority market
share at the very top end of the market.

Whatever that means.

I am told that this group includes professional people,
doctors, lawyers, and many musicians, so they hardly fit
into your "poorly-educated, well-funded,
obsessive-compulsives" category.

Whatever that means.
