I am a HiFi News & Record Review subscriber and today I see an announcement for the review of the Devialet Astra amplifier(s) in the September 2025 issue; will be published August 27th 2025. I am very curious whether they will compare the Astra sound with the Expert Pro range a little more than zero. If anyone can do this...., but perhaps I am living in the old world.....
