Linn featured on 'Working Lunch'

Posted by: Steve C 01 on 10 June 2002

Did anyone see Working Lunch today? Linn was featured, and interviewed Ivor Tiefenbrum (sp?). Ivor seemed to make good sense overall - especially about in-house research, production & manufacturing to maintain quality - until questioned why his CD player (I guess this is the CD12) cost £12k.

In his reply, he mentioned that competitors equivalent products cost as much as 2 or 3 times as much, and the CD12 outperformed them.

Now by competitors he probably meant Krell, Mark Levinson etc, but it wouldn't it be cool if Paul & Naim responded to this claim with the CDS2/XPS!

Paul - what do you think

Would the concept of federalism still prevent you from joining even though you would improve your standard of living.

Yes.

Note that I have no problem with federalism in principle, I do have a problem with the nature of the federalist path Europe is currently on. There should be concern for the European national interest rather than for the French, Spanish or British national interests.

Fortunately your dirigist view is falling out of favour across Europe.
