a little aggrieved d400

[GuillaumeB]

The whole situation is made even more complicated by the fact that we've had strong speculation on here for at least 4 weeks, almost entirely driven by dealers themselves, that new models were round the corner. Again it's rather unfair that 'those in the know' or those that read this forum were aware of that but not necessarily new purchasers of Devialets.   The whole dealer NDA thing seems to be farcical because on one hand some feel a moral requirement to warn customers that new models are close, and others adhere to the NDA. Who's right? Legally and technically the ones adhering to the NDA I guess.
I suppose also 4 weeks is close to some product return dates, either legal or dealer-specific.

I really think Devialet need to introduce an amnesty period of some description for those who bought close to the cut-off. Or perhaps dealers might be willing to do this?  It could be seen as an open goal PR-wise.

Rufus do you have any specific info re the Linn upgrade schemes? I do seem to remember a 3 month amnesty too.

Actually the rumours re the new models had been circulating on this site since the start of the "new product launch" thread on the 27th April, with more concrete info coming re a 1000 model in early May:
