So why is it politically so polarised - in elections you have a Russian ancestry candidate and a Ukrainian ancestry candidate, and nobody votes for policies, the Russians vote for the Russian and the Ukrainians vote for the Ukrainian, sensible form of democracy don't you think - it reminds me of the Eurovision song contest :roll: :mrgreen:

The story of the two Audio Notes and Peter Qvortrup is fascinating and more to do with company law (in both Japan and the UK) and asset liquidation than they are to do with hi-fi. Anyway for once even though I know I shall remain schtum.

I shall stick to my original comment of They use valves :mrgreen: and cost silly money :?

democracy ... not just in ukraine (which is one of the most corrupted countries maybe more than italy) but also in the western countries is a joke...i speak for the country where i live, we have a sort of play where the actors are the politicians and they polarize people one against the others , like football hooligans and in the meantime they do all the sort of crime, perfectly legalized ...of course ... democracy , the real democracy should be as Demosthene told ...then there is a type of democracy that is a sort of compromise of what should be and then there 's a joke like democracy in italy or us...but maybe also in uk...IMHO, of course ...

Nope, it is a trading company. I have hearsay.

Though the facts are.
1/ there used to be company called Audio Note based in Japan
2/ It then became a company based in both Japan and UK
3/ It then became a company based only in the UK
4/ the original owner of Audio Note Japan started a company called Kondo

In between were more shenanigans than you would probably find in a Nigerian brothel.

in my opinion is already run by a lot of Putin (that is also the name of a canadian dish :-) ) , the dynamics are just the same , but the more is the power the more is the evil ...always imho .

edit: sorry , the correct name is Poutine... :D

btw what happened to putin's face , seems he went to the same plastic surgeon of berlusconi !!!
