Ah, but classic Brit hifi was built with BA threads, and BA was defined in metric units (which came as a surprise to me many years ago)

Some Americans are quite mellifluous, some even have a sense of humour! I'll be selective, I certainly don't want my hifi to act in any way their current chieftain. Things European do seem, on the whole, to be more sophisticated. I like metric. Not only does it give a modern, accurate sound, the units all ft together with less fudging.
