While I think the EU has both good & bad sides,
I'd be totally unsurprised when one day the EU in all their wisdom
declare all non-class D amps illegal  ;D   ... starting with those valve/tube-driven anachronisms

For the curious Here is the fake news passed around yesterday....

If you don't read to the end, it sounds legit.  So would not be too far off to make the claim.

Vacuum is dangerous!! It sucks! the life out of life. It should be banned.

"Switzerland’s EU commissioner on technical affairs, Helmut Amples"  ;D ;D ;D

EU commissioner on technical affairs, Helmut Ampless. He is quoted as follows:

  This ancient so-called technology is inherently unsafe and should be banned as soon as possible. It’s easy to electrocute yourself on these little things, and imagine if a child broke one and was sucked into its vacuum. It’s terrifying.

It rings so true...
