Devialet 200 vs Linn Selekt - KraaijCheck - 29-Apr-2019

Did anyone get a direct comparison between a Devialet and the new Linn Select? Curious about the experiences. Thinking about getting myself an comperison soon.

I demoed the Expert Pro 220 vs. Selekt DSM with integrated power amp & Katalyst

Personally found the Linn sound flat and underwhelming. Rather like all Linn kit I have tested in the past. Much preferred the Expert Pro sound and ended up buying it

I also felt the dealers were over-selling the Linn's sound capabilities and future upgrade abilities which put me off; left me feeling Linn must be offering higher commissions than Devialet

A pretty poor dealer if he was motivated by higher commission!

Thanks for the info! My dealer allready told me he thinks the Devialet is a better amp than the Linn. Think it is similar to your experience.

The top of the line Linn Selekt is a cheaper amplifier than a 250. I heard all three variants of the Selekt at the Bristol HiFi show which was played through 804 D3 B&W speakers. I was very impressed with the product, its presentation and Linn’s emergence from the shadows. Of course it was far from being a direct comparison between my own Devialet gear and Linn’s own product, but it did pique my interest.
