As of the 12th July BADA (the British Audio Dealers Association) ceased to exist.
One less self seeking cartel to try and find more ways to rip you off.

To read the public blurb on this dealers cartel you would think it was set up for their customers benefit. Nothing could be further from the truth, it was set up to bully manufacturers into providing more margin / profit for them and higher prices for you. AND to try to keep the direct sellers and discounters out of the market.

I seem to recall the BADA ads in the old hifi mags -- I think that some of them had quite a pretty young lady in them for some reason?
Or maybe it's just my lecherous old brain adding that small detail. :D The ads all said that BADA was there for the benefit of the buying public.
A laudable sentiment.
They wouldn't have lied to us, would they?
The website doesn't seem to have died yet ..
