Please, please can I tactfully and politely point out that not all people who work in the hi-fi and audio industry are audiophools – some are cracking engineers doing their job in manufacturing, during these challenging times for British manufacturing.
I totally and utterly agree with all that.

But alas not all audio gear, including professional audio, has had EMC susceptibility even considered. I think your word "should" suggests that might be the case.
