New Member, just joined Devialet Chat and my first post. Although I have been a regular as Guest here for several months now.
Read in this thread that this is a good place to introduce myself and my HiFi system.
I purchased my first HiFi system at age 14 (got a loan from my parents and paid it off with money earned from a paper run) 39 years later, I think I have my "end game" HiFi system.
In October 2013 my family home was destroyed in the devastating bush fires in the Blue Mountains, my much loved HiFi system, LP and CD collection was lost in that fire.
So, the HiFi System in the photos and my signature was built from scratch, originally in January 2014 with Musically Fidelity amps, NAD DAC, B&W Speakers and Mac Mini server. I added the Aurender and Turntable in February 2015. In March this year we finally moved into our new home and whilst looking at a home theater setup at Len Wallis Audio in Sydney, out of curiosity, I had to demo the Devialet Expert 400 which Len Wallis had setup in one of the demo rooms. Several hours later, I couldn't leave the store without putting my order in for a Devialet LE 400. I should add that Len Wallis and his sales staff were absolutely fantastic to deal with and I couldn't have got this system without their very generous assistance! The SolidTech rack was added at the same time and I now have my dream HiFi system.
The Devialet 400 drive my B&W 802's with such musical finesse and impact, I get a huge smile every time I play my music. My system is setup in our main open plan family room/dinning room/kitchen, music and the HiFi System is part of our family every day life. My family really love using the Devialet, simple to turn on with one button on the remote and select music from the iPad and we all love the great sound of our favorite music. I am slowly rebuilding my LP collection and Tidal Steaming has meant I don't need to replace my CD collection.
In all my years of upgrading and swapping various components and speakers, the Devialet 400 has been the biggest improvement to any previous upgrade, a huge improvement on the Musical Fidelity M6 pre and power amp combo I had in the original setup.
Thank you for reading, I look forward to participating in the forum as a Member.
