My thoughts on Devialet

[griffithstrife]

@griffithstrife,

I've followed this thread from the start with your original post. Your last post has made it clear that this thread isn't about your views about Devialet. You made it very clear that it is now about your views of Devialet owners when you said at point 2 in your last post that " I BELIEVE PEOPLE OF THIS FORUM NEED TO STOP PRAISING DEVIALET AND START ACTING LIKE THEY SPENT GOOD MONEY ON THEIR AMPS. NOT ACT LIKE DEVIALET HAS BLESSED THEM WITH FREE MIRACLES."

OK, I get the message. I'm a fan boy like everyone else here who still has a Devialet, and we're all too dumb to get rid of our Devialets and get a better amp, one that you approve of. I'm happy to live with that, especially since you said that the Devialet is a pocket knife, small but with all the parts you need and good at the job, and that the others are katanas. If a pocket knife is all we need in life, then not only do we not need a katana but a katana would be a wasteful choice. You've just given us all the perfect reason for praising Devialet and passing on the katanas. Thank you for that. It's now perfectly clear that those of us who find that our Devialets are all that we need have made the right decision and should be praising Devialet for giving us that without all of the extra resources that go into making the katana we don't need. and don't want to pay for.

No my friend, I am not calling all owners fan boys! Especially the ones who understand Devialet has issues! I am talking about the people who can't admit a problem when they see it. I am talking about the people on this board who's only comments are.

"Well my unit works perfectly, you must be doing something"

" I never had that problem, Devialet is gift from God please delete this tread I have no hum"

I am talking about the people who act like Devialet birthed their children and saved their lives. I am not talking about the sound, or the people who enjoy it. I enjoyed it too, that is my point. If the most vocal minority is going to drown out all criticisms of the Devialet company. Than what will Devialet do? Nothing you see that is my point.

I don't want anyone to sell their amps, I just told a buddy of mine to get a 440. It was the best thing in his budget, I have no problem with the sound. For the price I pay and he paid. I love it.

I am saying if you want improvements, if you want upgrades, if you want better communication. Than the praise needs to stop. You own the amp, you have it, they can't take it away from you. But so, so many people here act like that, shhh Devialet will hear you. Well it's been 19 months no updates no nothing, they are shunning every expert owner out there.

But some people here won't even let you say that, some people here praise the sound when we are not talking about the sound.

And I am glad you understand my pocket knife vs katana metaphor, try understanding this one. I never said sell your pocket knifes, I never said buy katanas. I said stop acting like it's not a pocket knife, that's my point. When people here act like the sound is the best sound on Earth. Well that is when you reach hyperbole, it will drive away real audiophiles and it will attract identity seekers. Losers no offense meant to anyone, but that is what hyperbole does.

My friend my final point is you paid more for the pocket knife, if you bought your unit new from a dealer. that is my point, you went on about how you are happy to save money and not waste it on a katana! You spent more to have the pocket knife! That is my point! I am assuming you have a 1000 my apology if that is incorrect. But my point is all the options I speak about are cheaper vs the 1000 and about the same as the 440 in MSRP.
