One of the lecturers was involved in a project testing fluorescent tubes from different brands.

He even went so far as to say he believed them all to originate from the same factory.

I have a pair of AR speakers of mid-70's vintage. In those days the bass drivers had foam edge supports. These eventually went brittle and fell apart. A mate who is in the sound game said I could either by original AR drivers or other drivers with exactly the same specifications that were made in the same factory but sold for about a fifth the price. Guess what I did? They sound better (tighter) than the originals.
