I am also deeply worried by something Confused wrote reporting from the Oxford Audio event. Mathieu Pernot says Devialet only uses measurements to verify their developments. They never listen Pernot says something stupid about trusting lab equipment but not his listening skills. While it is good to have measurement backup when you develop audio reproduction, not listening to changes you make is bad practice in my book. I do not believe the original Devialet ADH was developed by measurement alone.
I may move on to something else for this reason alone.
I think that Quad, those terrible British amplifiers used to only use measurements for their amplifiers and never listened to them to test either.
