A few digs at (not so) poor mr F1eng here re the cost of some of his old kit.......
However, I think this gives rise to an interesting point. Here is someone with legacy kit with a price tag beyond that most of us could afford. But now he is using Devialet amplification as a preference. OK, the D800 is not a "budget" option, but most of us here already own 5K to 20k worth of Devialet amplification. The conclusion being that the "ultra high end" / state of the art performance is perhaps, very slowly, moving towards something a little more affordable.
Of this, we should all be glad....
