Hi all I’m in a bit a dilema i have at the moment an ex dem 130 pro its not mint but that’s expected. I’m thinking of returning it and paying the extra 995.00 for a new one. I’m just not sure its worth it but I’m really fussy.
I’m just wondering what people think is worth the discount or should i get a factory fresh one?.

If it was me if the cosmetics are the only concern, I would do nothing for a month, and then just keep it. But that being said, it's not my decision or money, but yours.

I’m still not sure what to do my 130 pro just sounds Devine. It brings a smile to my face when i listen and don’t want to go through the running in process. Just for info i sold all my naim equipment to make the switch to Devialet and don’t regret it one bit. I’m hearing things in the music that simply seemed to missing before.
I’m just very fussy about my hifi and would really like an immaculate 130 pro as i plan to keep it for a few years.

Return it for a brand new 220Pro. It’s the best value Expert Pro. You have spent 90% of the money, not worth save the 10% to make you not 100% satisfaction.

You took the words out of my mouth.
If I was moon, I would return the Demo 130 and take that cash and purchase
as 2rd hand 220 Pro CI in great shape.
He will be happier in the long run.

Ok, ooops, I did not realize he could return it, get his money back and buy a new one. If you have the funds to do that, then do so.

I had an ex-demo 130 Pro as well which I upgraded to the 220 Pro; the 130 had a few scratches and a window on the back was broken. It was 30% off. When I got it back it was all completely factory new. Was it worth the money? It depends, but both sound drivine, but because I am also fussy, I do love the fact that it's immaculate.
