My thoughts on Devialet

[griffithstrife]

I think that all it takes is objectivity, realism... and a bit of optimism.

The objectivity tells us that the Devialet is one of the best sounding amps on the planet, whatever the price, which makes it an incredible bargain. Many very high set up have cables costing significantly more than the price of a Devialet Dual mono... and they struggle to reach the same level of quality. But objectivity also tells us that Devialet has been doing a consistently poor job at fixing some issues and at releasing new features as hinted.

Realism tells us that nothing is ever perfect. The the small glitches don’t kill the value proposition even if they weaken it a little.

Optimism tells me that the company has not given up on their high end customers. Their support is trying hard to help.

Now the kind of emotional hatred displayed by one poster here isn’t about Devialet, it’s about that person.

You are confused, you think I hate Devialet. Why? why would I hate them I said time and again I like the product. That is why I owned 2 of them.

You did not read what I wrote, you do not actually read the words but you attack me.

And when I say I am being attacked and not being understood you attack further

LET ME TRY THIS!!!

1:I FEEL THE WAY DEVIALET HANDLES DISTRIBUTION IS COSTING THEIR CUSTOMERS MONEY. IF YOU WANT TO ACT LIKE MBL, GRYPHON AND D'AGSTINO, WELL, THEN ACT LIKE IT. MAKE IT HARD FOR 2ND HAND AMPS TO GET UPGRADES AND DISCOUNTS.

THAT WOULD SUCK FOR GUYS LIKE ME. "WHO STOLE THESE UNITS AT INCREDIBLE PRICE, SO GOOD LIKE GIFT FROM GOD".

2: I BELIEVE PEOPLE OF THIS FORUM NEED TO STOP PRAISING DEVIALET AND START ACTING LIKE THEY SPENT GOOD MONEY ON THEIR AMPS. NOT ACT LIKE DEVIALET HAS BLESSED THEM WITH FREE MIRACLES.

3: I BELIEVE THE PRICE IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY, YOU SAY YOUR OBJECTIVITY TELLS YOU DEVIALET IS AMONG THE BEST. WHY? WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD? WHAT HAVE YOU A\B AT HOME?

YOU SEE, I COMPARED MY 220 TO A 440 AND A 1000. I THEN WENT AND HEARD MANY, MANY AMPS, D'AGISTINO WAS MY FAVORITE. I ALSO LOVED MBL BUT I COULD NOT AFFORD IT. I ALSO LOVED THE VINNY ROSSI L SOMTHING I CAN'T REMEMEBER BUT IT WAS INTEGRATED WITH DAC FOR 22K AND IT WAS AMAZING BUT THE D'AGSTINO BEAT IT. I REMEMBER TURNING ON MY DIABLO 300 FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WORRYING IT MIGHT NOT BEAT THE D'AGSTINO. DID IT? I DON'T KNOW, BUT I KNOW WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO GRAB THE D'AGSTINO FOR EVEN TRADE I DID NOT EVEN CONSIDER IT.

HERE IS THE THING, IN MY OPINION THESE AMPS ALL KILLED THE 1000 IN SOUND. I AM SORRY I DO NOT MEAN TO HURT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE. BUT YOU SEE REALITY SEEMS TO AGREE WITH ME. LOOK AT SALES LOOK AT REVIEWS. AND LOOK AT THE GEAR THE REVIEWERS ARE SPENDING THEIR OWN MONEY ON. HINT IT AINT DEVIALET,

DEVIALET IS A POCKET KNIFE THAT IS WHAT MADE IT UNIQUE, SMALL BUT ALL THE PARTS YOU NEED AND GOOD AT THE JOB. THE OTHERS ARE KATANAS.

YOU CAN LOVE YOUR POCKET KNIFE, IT CAN BE YOU FAVORITE, IT CAN BE ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE. BUT IT IS A POCKET KNIFE.

Now I apologize for my caps but I am just trying to explain, but I don't think it's possible here. I can't reply to anyone here.
