Pro Upgrade program ending

[Damon]

TDA,
Apologies for telling you things you already know. if you have, or will have, the budget to go to the D1000 Pro, then it makes sense to plan and purchase accordingly. I'm sure that used D250 Pro's will be available on the used market in the future; used D1000's as well. Knowing where we will settle is always hard. I just know that planning for a continuing series of upgrades is not, usually, the cost-consicious way to get there.

I'm not lecturing you, by the way. I'm at the end of my career in terms of playing with the equipment or changing things, and I've settled out at more modest level of investment and performance than many.

I don't feel the upgrades were unreasonably priced, however. Recent purchasers were able to upgrade for less than those of us who have had our units longer. I think that a $1,500.00 power cable, or a $10,000.00 power supply (Naim) represent a lot less 'value' than the Devialet upgrade. And no upgrade option would have been more disappointing and damaging than having no upgrade option available. Anyhow, that just how I see it.

I hope the upgrade opportunity works out for you so that you can stage the speaker and amp purchases comfortably.
