Patrick Turner of Canberra is a prolific Usenet poster on rec.audio.tubes and has a Web site of his own. He often makes idiosyncratic comments that after reading these documents make a lot more sense and his web site IS useful, certainly to anyone wanting to understand the situation in Australia.
The Australian market was extremely protected and as a result Australian radios, TV sets, appliances and pro equipment evolved in unusual ways, just as its wildlife did. Unfortunately most of their consumer equipment was poor, by comparison to American gear. There as here, if you wanted really impressive audio you bought McIntosh or Marantz. You just paid more.
