As a minor update, and a bit of a thread 'bump'. I was visiting Oxford Audio yesterday, and noting that this thread had been a little quiet, I asked to confirm if the June 4th event is still on.
A simple answer to this one, yes, it is on!

Confused is right, the streamer day is very much on. All are welcome!
Having had a trial run of the two-box monster on Saturday, I strongly recommend anyone seriously considering a high-end front end to their Devialet to come in and have a listen.
Regards

Better than AIR 3 Alasdair?! It's in the diary and I definitely plan on being there.

You'll have to see for yourself!
It was honestly one of those systems (with Blades and D800) on Saturday that just blew you away. We get treated to so many great systems upstairs when doing demos that I think you notice it even more when a combination surpasses great and becomes phenomenal. You may think I'm heaping the praise on a little heavy but it destroyed the Aurender W20 that we held as our reference digital component!
See you on Saturday

Alasdair is right, it did sound very good indeed, sensational in fact. Better than AIR 3? I have never heard AIR 3, and I believe Alasdair has not had time yet to try it either. However, was it better than the W20? Yes, comfortably. So I suspect AIR 3 might struggle a bit in this particular head to head. In the interests of balance, AIR 3 is cheaper ........

Guillaume, you are quite right! Next Saturday...
My head is in another place, trying to get the shop back to status quo after a busy weekend and dealing with a rep-pocolypse!

Alasdair - may I suggest a few advance details to whet the appetite so to speak?
