A challenge!

[Crossie]

Read this Ebay advert to the end and in less than 1000 words explain what on earth they are on about.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-AS-3iENGLAND-EL34-Triode-Connect-VALVE-amplifier-/310761501753?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Amplifiers&hash=item485ad43439

I am utterly confused by its lenght and content, a good example of how not to do it.

Time for a :beer:.

Goodnight

I know I've said it before, and I hate to say it again, but you're going to find it very difficult reading anything without eyes.

That's excellent. There's a lot of highlights but probably the best is:

' THE IMPROVEMENT IS SO HUGE[/b]

THAT ABOUT 33 PERCENT TO 50 PERCENT OF WIVES [/b] who get very bored with you going on and on about your Hi Fi systems, [/b] WILL NOTICE THE IMPROVEMENT , WITHOUT PROMPTING ! [/b] So, you might get less stick for spending more money on Hi Fi ! '[/b]

I got about half way through and decided shooting myself would be a better option than trying to make sense of that.

Nice van.

Did anyone actually manage to read all of that advert?

I got about half way through it and my head is spinning. :O

I want one.

Oh, maybe not, it isn't actually a pen is enlargement ad??

Disappointed now.

Ah yes, the Affordable Valve Company. Brevity is not their watchword!!

It reads like the ramblings of an eccentric hifi enthusiast and doesn't inspre any confidence due to a lack of any perceived professionalism.

I agree that the ad makes little sense, but I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. I would guess english isn't his mother tongue. There is a lot of innovative HiFi design coming out of China, and in particular Hong Kong. The accepted belief is that it is just copies of western designs, but firms like MiniDSP are producing truly original designs. I think the product underlying the advert is:

http://www.audiospace-hifi.com/detail.asp?catid=2270&subcatid=0&pdtid=3627

Interesting comments about an upcoming Hong Kong audio fair, and that they sell their products into the Chinese market.

I wonder how big the Chinese market for hi end HiFi is?

The product may well be excellent, but that page is an advert, designed to inspire confidence in prospective buyers.

Most people would simply switch off before even getting half way down the page. Even forum members here have.
