To Devialet or not to Devialet
#21
Excellent, so I am assuming things like that can be done as an upgrade?
I dont have anything in this format, but there are so many possibilities with the digital music sites appearing all of a sudden.

If it is the 200, I think they are about 6k??...so would have to wait about 3 more months to raise that, although there is interest free credit.
Thank you
Hi - welcome.  Depending on where you're based, why not travel across to Dublin and visit Cloney Audio.   This is where I bought my Devialet 200 from - and with the current €/£ exchange rate - a D200 can be had for £5k.  You can spend the other £1k on the best Guinness in the world ....

BTW - other comments re:£600 USB cable spot on.  I'm using a SBT with a £50 co-ax and it sounds great.

That is not a bad idea.......of course there would be customs I would guess?

And what exactly would 1K worth of Guinness do to your innards? Angel

The UK and Ireland are both in the EU so there should be no customs charges Smile

Wow, so that really is an option then. That is incredible. I need to hear it with my PMC 23s first and that may be problematic. Home demo not going to happen as I am miles from any stockist.

Well, the border between NI and RoI is not really manned very well.... I haven't seen a border patrol for over 10 years... Take the car on the ferry to Dun Laoghaire, short drive to Blackrock, spot of lunch, buy a Devialet, 30 minute drive to Dublin, weekend break ...

Phone Ivan at Cloney Audio, explain your predicament, and he may be able to source some PMCs for a demo for you.   Very accommodating man.  He loaned me a Devialet 200 for a home demo - and I'd never done business with him before, and I live over 100 miles away!

Its a cracking idea.
When you buy a Devialet do you not get installation though? After reading a few messages on here it all seems rather complex.
