Sorry, it was my error in reading that plug advert, I focused on the Rhodium plated plug and didn't spot the gold plated one (and socket). I see there are also ceramic fuses for plugs, so the glass ones must be for the equipment end of things. So their stuff looks legal. Still pointless, though.

Interesting that the main mouldings of the plugs are translucent. Are these things based on the inspectable-without-opening ones for medical applications?

Ah, 5 drive amps per speaker goes with the Linkwitz speakers...

The one of my US patents whose number I can actually remember is 6509800, and yes, I did build one and it did work. It's been interesting watching the citations list growing. The firm wanted patents and gave a £1000 tax-paid bonus. They had a mutual access agreement with Tektronix etc. so we competed by getting products out first, not by trying to sue each other's socks off.
