If I remember correctly they were hooked up to a spectral pre and densen power amp in the toilet. Come on guys now be real, where else would you expect ADM9's, spectral and densen to work optimally other than a toilet.

I think it's because the ADM9s sound a bit "farty".

We will have to agree to differ on this one.richard,

conventional valve circuitry is imho no more or less complicated than sand circuitry, but i dont usualy do conventional in my own designs, and when i have worked out how to put a picture up on here i will show you a board of one of my creations!
I disapear to RHS Wisley for the day entertaining the Wif and what do I find when I get back nothing but more AVI and ADM9 on the thread and this time from the boosses, what the !

Anyway come on - who has bought direct from China or HK or Taiwan on ebay. Was it a problem or did you get a bargain, don't you find it a bit strange that they can make a profit at those prices?
Were any of you tempted but chickened out due to the valve (mini) cartel telling you not to touch it on the other forums, so many scare stories. Well who is running scared - huh!

Me! And I couldn't be happier with my (modified) Chinese valve amp. Mind you, by the time I've finished it will be a South Wales one...Anyway come on - who has bought direct from China or HK or Taiwan on ebay?
What will we call it? How about the 'Boyo Acoustics Reference AM-2008'?
Marco.
P.S Anthony, where's that picture you were going to post for Richard to see? Has Rob not got off his arse yet?
