On a serious note and getting the thread back on track -
there have been a few occasions when I have considered moving away from Devialet as I was unhappy with their false promises etc, but it still sounds sublime to me. I have not had a lot of high end gear so it is always difficult for me to compare, but I guess i would love to hear the Hegel, Lyngdorf or Linn systems in my own home where I can judge properly. This unfortunately up here in Newcastle is not possible.
So yes I am always thinking about moving away but in all honesty if I decided to spend some cash I would probably go with the 220 Pro as its the safe option without being able to audition. I feel the addition of the Olympicas to the Devialet gives me the sound I love. At present though I listen through headphones more and more so it would probably make sense to spend the cash there if I was to do anything.
It all keeps this hobby interesting though.
