Why are HiFi entusiasts negative to Phantoms ?

[BjornWiman]

I think that a lot of "audiophiles" are suffering from prejudice regarding both Phantom and the Expert-line. They are so used to have all these boxes to get a good sound - they just can't get into their head that it actually is possible to get extremely good SQ out of such small units.

It is also a part of the "audiophile" hobby to fiddle around with interconnects, DAC's, power cords and so on - things that is not possible to do with the Expert or the Phantom. Therefore this "ready" Devialet solution, in a way, kill the hobby for many audiophiles. Because playing music on their hifisystem don't seem to be the main thing for many members of the audiophile squad.

Also many non-Devialet dealers encourages this belief since an increased sales of Devialets and Phantoms, and solutions alike, are equal to lost business in cables, racks, and boxes to them...
