    Sorry, you do NOT get HOME HOME TRIAL for model 120. ----------------------- ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED FOR MODEL 120. ----------------------- You only get 7 days guarantee, which is better than 1 year guarantee from a Chinese factory (if you have to pay the shipping cost) or a "grey importer" who may NOT know how to repair valve amplifiers


    hmm distance selling regs?

    certainly the wording and agressive nature of the advertising / item descriptions above would put me off parting with my cash. i believe he is complying with the distance selling regs but no more.
    btw. as i don't belive 'the afordable valve company' is a member here it is against the forums AUP to make any personal comments about the person behind 'tavc' so please don't. product or marketing is fair game though.
    cheers

    guys, after Julians words, 3 posts go on to make a comment of some sort about the guy behind the company.

    Ive edited, but please have a little respect for the AUP's.

    Us mods really dont like editing posts, we'd rather leave you to it :)

    Cheers
    Chris
