Did they measure the Sasha 2?!

Interesting question Guillaume.  When I spoke to Mathieu Pernod at the Phantom launch about my SAM 2 problems, he suggested that it would be a good idea to get the Blades SAM Lab'ed when on tour in the UK.  However, in very recent correspondence with Deavialet support, when I asked if it would be of benefit to to do this, the response was no, as follows:

"Measurements between V1 and SAM LAB (or V2) are the same.

SAM LAB has been designed to be as accurate and reliable as the measuring laboratory equipment.
More than 230 speakers have been sammed V1 in the laboratory. All speaker profiles were moved in V2 from the original measurements, without considering the V1 profile. So there is no difference between the V2 profile of a sammed speaker in our laboratory and the same speaker with the SAM LAB."

So I'm still unclear on this one, and I would love to hear the experience of any one who has migrated from a converted SAM 1 profile running in SAM 2, to it's SAM'ed lab equivalent.  Are they really the same?

Thanks Confused. My understanding from speaking to a Devialet dealer is that there are quite a few manual processes involved in creating a SAM profile and that therefore there might be a possibility of human error in creating SAM profiles, or at least variability in results. That coupled with Mathieu's comment makes me keen to have the Sasha 2 remeasured, and ideally mine!
