Should people voluntarily surrender their dangerous vacuum tubes and vacuum tube equipment? Also, non-Class D solid state? Those mercury vapor tubes are especially scary!


Maybe there will be a buy back program.

Better stock up on spare tubes. That is the easiest way to "enforce" the legislation.

Ahem, gentlemen, did we not notice the April Fools hashtag, and the Eurocrats, Mssr. CRETIN and Mr. LIAR?
I believe vacuum tubes/amps have a LITTLE life left in them yet.

Yeah the libs are doing their best to ruin Ferrari and other European super cars. They want everyone tooling around in Fiat 500's...

Well, w/the general Euro Skeptic tendencies of the British public, and reluctance to allow unfettered movement across borders, we're likely due to vote "no" to continued membership of the EC.
Maybe this will be a Golden Age for British-made tube amps.

The only hazardous materials the EC should outlaw are the toxic emissions of their lawyers, if that rambling directive is anything to go by.

Just stating the obvious. I'm not interested in a political forum conversation.

 

[slowGEEZR]

Me neither. Actually, I agree with conservatism as it was originally, but radicalism on either side is bad news.

 

[slowGEEZR]

Agreed. I come to this site to talk audio, not politico.

I agree. Amazing that audiophiles in their hypersensitive zeal cannot see beyond the toreador's red cape of an article that is an obvious satire, a joke. Obvious unless you are a certain type of audiophile, that is.

Fitz, I did get the joke. And a good one it is, catching out a fair number of audiofools.
