Audio Note Japan vs Audio Note UK--Comments?

Do a search on AA for 'Dear friends of Audio Note Japan' to get the other side's version of the matter. Having worked in the U.K. for a Japanese audio company in the late '70s and being aware of the shenanigans that went on in the relatively small British audio industry, my money is on H. Kondo's version of events as being more representative of the truth that P. Qvortrup's.

Hi,
to complete an opinion about audio note uk , since I talk with audio note since 1992 they always respond to my questions and last years Peter qvortrup do the same , but jadis also respond , that is the difference beetween by to them or to EAR  where Tim de paravicini never answer any question at all , if I need to buy some hiend it don't be suddenly to EAR a really bad company

Now about audio note uk vs Kondo I really don’t want to now what happen between them , but audio note uk in my opinion build good hiend audio equipments , kondo are better more like art like fp journe watches , if I don’t build my own 211 amplifiers I prefer jadis who want to buy some hifi when 90% of the cd are crap  when listening and jadis add some distortion and manipulation of the audio track but in the end is better, is an non sense buy a tube amplifier the better system is a good tube preamplifier and a very musical mosfet amplifier .
for me the cd is like the parts in a food plate , the preamplifier all the condiments and the amplifier the way we transform all to food , if we make mystaques with the condiments the final result will be very bad.

I believe the courts in the U.K. decided the issue. It's probably best to let sleeping dogs lie.  Mr. Hiroyasu Kondo (may he rest in peace) is not here to defend himself or his reputation.

For those in the U.K., you may have access to court documents. 
Here in the states probably not or it's most likely not a straight forward endeavor (not knowing which court held jurisdiction).  If it were an issue that had been decided in U.S. courts, you could probably find and research the case quite easily.

It's fair to say that there was Hiroyasu Kondo, CBS/SONY recording engineer, amplifier designer, founder of Audio Note Japan, 1979 before there was Audio Note U.K.
