Upgrade program kick-off

[GuillaumeB]

I haven't posted on this thread, as I didn't want to get involved in the various logistical debates, and I had not heard a Pro amp. But as a few other members know, I did decide to make the leap and upgrade from the D120 to the D220 Pro. However I can now comment on both.

I placed my order on 11 November. The emailed paperwork arrived on 18 November. The amp was picked up at 3:30 pm on the 18th and was back in my hands at 1:30 pm on 07 December. No scratches, dents or disappointments. The door-to-door time time was 20 days, including the dates of pick-up and delivery. Devialet's turn around was faster than expected and faster than their estimate. Similar to the experience of Wdw, the delays and confusions were all on the part of UPS. Thanks here to BrianT for his advice regarding Canadian customs paperwork requirements; he knows more than UPS does about shipping in and out of Canada.

I will report on the sound quality in another thread, but I agree completely with Wdw: stone cold, out of the box, the difference is clear, complete, immediate and dramatic. I absolutely did not expect a change of this magnitude or quality. And yes, it is good.

Excellent news Damon, you buggers have me thinking about this upgrade now  

Haha brilliant! 

Congrats to Damon, look forward to reading the listening notes.
