**Iain has stated that valve amps constitute the vast majority of
high
end
amplifier sold in his country. Of course, he can't provide any
actual
proof of that. I can tell you that it is easy enough to locate a
bunch
of
valve amps (in one location) here in Australia. I would expect that
it
is
easier in the UK. What, with all that crappy weather and all.

Poor memory fails you again, dear Trevor. You will really have to
stop
that lead solder sniffing. It really is softening your brain.

I quoted a Swedish high end dealer who told me that the top 5%
of high end audio systems sold in *Scandinavia* are valve/tube
based systems. This is not in fact news, as sales in top end
systems have been at this level for over two years now.
I did not use the phrase "vast majority". Please check
before you misquote so blatantly.

**Here are your precise words:

---
" As I mentioned to Trevor (a fact which he could not accept)
here in Scandinavia, the top 5% of high end audio sales are totally
dominated by tube audio."
---

You have yet to provide any evidence to justify this statement, except
an
alleged conversation with someone in the business.

Do I need to spoonfeed you, Trevor?

**Nope. You could supply some evidence to support you statement though.

Do the research yourself.
Buy some Danish or Swedish audio journals in which the matter is
discussed frequently. You will find an interesting btreakdown of figs
by maker, cost and topology.

**We don't get any of that stuff over here.


If you had a better knowledge of geography, you would know that
Scandinavia is not a country, but a group of countries, formed long
before
the EU was even thought of. Its member states are Sweden,
Norway, Finland and Denmark.

**I am aware of this.

Being the gentleman I am, I will not jump up and down in apoplexy
as you are prone to do, swear and shout "Liar" Instead I will smile,
and think "Poor old Trevor. Once again he is so hot and bothered that
he misunderstood a simple statement in his own language".

**I repeated your words, verbatim. There is not much to
misunderstand.
I
do, however, admit to substituting 'countries' with 'country'.

True. There was not much to misunderstand., but still you managed to do
so,
just as you have with posts from Keith and Andre.

**LOL!


Nice to see that you have managed to make a post without invective and
shouts of "Liar"

**You're still a liar. You just haven't lied (to me) in the last few
days.
I'm certain it won't be long, before you lie or misreprepresent my
position
very soon. It's all you do.

Come on Trevor. Pull yourself together, you are like a hysterical
schoolgirl, caught with her knickers down.

I make a wonderful Beef Wellington, and can produce ten
witnesses to prove that is no lie.

Let's have a bit of civility and common sense from you.
Pretend you are British:-)

**I treat people as they deserve to be treated. As soon as you cease
acting like a lying, supercilious prat, I will treat you as if you are not
a lying, supercilious prat.

I won't be holding my breath.

As ever the gentleman and scholar:-)
Iain
