I must admit that I am a little surprised that Devialet's new website has earned 7 pages of comments so far. Although I have been lucky I think, I had a look at the website the morning it arrived and it was indeed a mess, with mixed languages. I tried again a couple of days later, language issues were sorted, no issues logging in, and my amps / serial numbers, personal data etc. were all correct. Don't get me wrong here though, I note that others have had log-in issues and I am fully sympathetic to this, I know just how frustrating this can be.
But for me, not much has changed really, I can log in, the configurator is still there, the technical section is still incomplete and amateurish looking. I am not too bothered about the presentation stuff, and form a technical information point of view, the new website is basically just the same as the old one.
I was checking some cartridge information at the weekend and was looking at Ortofon's website. Mindful of Hifi_swlon's earlier comment that Devialet website ignores the 'historic' Devialet Expert (and D-Premier) products, I noticed this:
https://www.ortofon.com/hifi/products/hi...l-products
A quick look in this section I could find references to cartridges I had maybe 25 years or more ago. A simple layout, it works, and the data is there. For me this is a good example of how it should be done.
Later I read something about the Auralic G2 range. I decided to double check the information on Auralic's website per the link below:
http://www.auralic.com/en/
Interestingly, Auralic appear to be omitting any information regarding some products in their current range, together with having a website that is rather confusing to navigate. Arguably a worse effort than Devialet, impressive!
