250 Pro

[woodstock]

So having lived with the 250 Pro for a number of months now, using with a full loom of Nordost Heimdall 2 thru-out, and Hyperion 968 transducers, I think it might be time to give some insight as to the performance of the system comparing it to the old 250 through the Galo ref 3.1. The old system had a holographic in the recording room presentation as with Pro 250 having the ability to project you into row 15 of a live venue with all the room nuances and detail of the performers merging into their instruments. Both interpretations I love and has me thinking that I should pick up a used 250 just so I can have that on hand. the two units are completely different sensations and are both exciting and engaging listening experiences. Over the years I was lucky to have had a friend in the audio bizz who was continually lending me so awesome gear, yet, this set up has given me so much more enjoyment than any other combination I've had. I find I no longer strain to hear into the sound field, it just comes wafting out and baths me with liquid dancing waves. When it comes to making out what was in the past hard to understand voices, now is natural and clear, once again no straining.
I do miss the in your face excitement that the older 250 offered but the nice thing about recognising this is that all I have to do is insert a 250. Would it not be interesting if it was just a matter of flipping a switch on the Devialet remote?
