My thoughts on Devialet

[Damon]

]Hey thanks, I really appreciate that, I think a lot of people on here is feeling like I attacked them. And I won't engage with that, I mean nothing I write will allow them to see I mean no animosity to anyone.

Well man look here is me being super honest, just my perspective.

I am simply saying Devialet as a business as a company is out of touch with reality and is believing their own BS.

Reading the edited post quoted above, and your original post, I think that there is another issue here; that is that your posts are difficult to read and understand. I can tell that you are trying to be conversational in your writing, but tone and inflection are very difficult to get across in writing (It happens to me all the time). But it is even more difficult without correct or helpful punctuation, and every sentence a paragraph. Seriously, how could any of us really understand your intent?

Most of us don't care if you move on from Devialet. You are not the first to do so, and you won't be the last.  None of us here doubt the Gryphon is an outstanding amplifier, either from having heard it or from reading reviews and opinions that we trust. Gryphon? Great! D'Agostino? Great, off you go. Pass? Clearly top notch. You have many happy shopping hours ahead of you, especially if you are buying audio products of that price range without hearing them.

We don't think you're gloating, but you can gloat if you want to. I've read so many posts over the years where members here are genuinely happy to hear that someone has bought some other product that thrills them. But your posts mix new and used prices over time, and add a series of bad experiences with dealers, including a 'member' here who posts only to buy and sell equipment, and who is not a Devialet dealer though he adopts that posture online. You're also presenting your opinions as absolute facts, whether about sound quality or about the positions of other members.

You are not getting push-back about Devialet's software issues, or over-the-top advertising, or lack of helpful support (sometimes) or silence on many issues. You'll get plenty of support for those complaints. We don't mind that you think the 220 to 440 upgrade is marginal. Reading the pages of posts following your original post, I think the reactions have been remarkably mild. I did not see any personal attacks, and I'm not attacking you in this post. 

If you would take a few minutes to proof read and edit your posts, we would all have a much easier time participating in this discussion. I think this is true also for those who agree with you, and support and envy you for selling the Devialet and moving to a different amplifier. There are many here who would really like to get your opinions and descriptions of the way the Gryphon sounds. Many here will hope that you remain a member of the forum and share your experiences with all your equipment purchases. You can make and keep friends here if you give us a bit of a chance.
