Astra reviews

[Damon]

I'm not going to play with this mouse for very long, but I think its fair to say that S.Huff is well-respected as an audio reviewer by many viewers. And well-enough by companies who decide to send him equipment; in that regard, he is like many (or too many) who make a living/ income from talking at us on youtube. That he has a comedy channel about talking to the dead or ghosts has no relevance to his business taking about audio equipment. I'll totally agree with you that his radio-to-the-dead material is laughable and definitely dents his general credibility. That said, big religion, esp in the US, is a multi-billion dollar industry (untaxed) and so he is playing to a large audience.

All YT reviewers go through piles of equipment; if they didn't, people wouldn't bother to watch. Cars, guitars, audio equipment, and there are always favorites and new dramatic 'I bought it' titles. Thats the way it is, so no news there.

My point is that it is nice to see a Devialet product, that isn't a Phantom or Dione, favourably reviewed, even without side by side comparisons. Finally, my weak attempt at humour was that used Devialet amps may get a boost in interest just as I started thinking about buying a used Expert or Pro amp.
