Damon - good points - I am coming from a very nice tube pre amp and tube amp system to the Devialet 400. The tube system was much more expensive, and did many things really well. And it was better to my ears then when I tried layering in a set of NCORE 1200 mono blocks into the system. The system can probably do vinyl better than the Devialet but that is an unfair comparison on many levels ( an actually I have not yet made the comparison ).
However that being said, I feel no regret from moving from that system to the Devialet. And once I get new speakers I will be even happier.
Every component has its strengths, my tube system was very very engaging and drew one in, however there are certain things it didn't do as well, in terms of dynamics, clarity and details. And the ability to go loud.
