My thoughts on Devialet

[SJK]

bernardlI think that all it takes is objectivity, realism... and a bit of optimism.

The objectivity tells us that the Devialet is one of the best sounding amps on the planet, whatever the price, which makes it an incredible bargain. Many very high set up have cables costing significantly more than the price of a Devialet Dual mono... and they struggle to reach the same level of quality. But objectivity also tells us that Devialet has been doing a consistently poor job at fixing some issues and at releasing new features as hinted.

Realism tells us that nothing is ever perfect. The the small glitches don’t kill the value proposition even if they weaken it a little.

Optimism tells me that the company has not given up on their high end customers. Their support is trying hard to help.

Now the kind of emotional hatred displayed by one poster here isn’t about Devialet, it’s about that person.

Cheers,
Bernard
You are confused, you think I hate Devialet. Why? why would I hate them I said time and again I like the product. That is why I owned 2 of them.

You did not read what I wrote, you do not actually read the words but you attack me.

And when I say I am being attacked and not being understood you attack further

LET ME TRY THIS!!!

1:I FEEL THE WAY DEVIALET HANDLES DISTRIBUTION IS COSTING THEIR CUSTOMERS MONEY. IF YOU WANT TO ACT LIKE MBL, GRYPHON AND D'AGSTINO, WELL, THEN ACT LIKE IT. MAKE IT HARD FOR 2ND HAND AMPS TO GET UPGRADES AND DISCOUNTS.

THAT WOULD SUCK FOR GUYS LIKE ME. "WHO STOLE THESE UNITS AT INCREDIBLE PRICE, SO GOOD LIKE GIFT FROM GOD".

2: 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.

3: I BELIEVE THE PRICE IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY, YOU SAY YOUR OBJECTIVITY TELLS YOU DEVIALET IS AMONG THE BEST. WHY? WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD? WHAT HAVE YOU A\B AT HOME?

YOU SEE, I COMPARED MY 220 TO A 440 AND A 1000. I THEN WENT AND HEARD MANY, MANY AMPS, D'AGISTINO WAS MY FAVORITE. I ALSO LOVED MBL BUT I COULD NOT AFFORD IT. I ALSO LOVED THE VINNY ROSSI L SOMTHING I CAN'T REMEMEBER BUT IT WAS INTEGRATED WITH DAC FOR 22K AND IT WAS AMAZING BUT THE D'AGSTINO BEAT IT. I REMEMBER TURNING ON MY DIABLO 300 FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WORRYING IT MIGHT NOT BEAT THE D'AGSTINO. DID IT? I DON'T KNOW, BUT I KNOW WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO GRAB THE D'AGSTINO FOR EVEN TRADE I DID NOT EVEN CONSIDER IT.

HERE IS THE THING, IN MY OPINION THESE AMPS ALL KILLED THE 1000 IN SOUND. I AM SORRY I DO NOT MEAN TO HURT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE. BUT YOU SEE REALITY SEEMS TO AGREE WITH ME. LOOK AT SALES LOOK AT REVIEWS. AND LOOK AT THE GEAR THE REVIEWERS ARE SPENDING THEIR OWN MONEY ON. HINT IT AINT DEVIALET,

DEVIALET IS A POCKET KNIFE THAT IS WHAT MADE IT UNIQUE, SMALL BUT ALL THE PARTS YOU NEED AND GOOD AT THE JOB. THE OTHERS ARE KATANAS.

YOU CAN LOVE YOUR POCKET KNIFE, IT CAN BE YOU FAVORITE, IT CAN BE ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE. BUT IT IS A POCKET KNIFE.

Now I apologize for my caps but I am just trying to explain, but I don't think it's possible here. I can't reply to anyone here.

What I know beyond any possible doubt is that I have never roamed the forums of gear I used to own for weeks talking crap about the brand, I have also never tried to convince any owner of a given piece of equipment that I know better than him how other pieces of equipment sound (better) in their systems, I also know that I have never written a full capital letters post in my entire online life (will probably close to 20,000 posts in various forums).

Now... why do you think I don't do these things?

This will be my final answer to you, but you may just want to think about why you need our validation of your views? Why us? People still using a brand with the long list of issues you have kindly made visible for all to see. Why would you expect us to understand you? Wasn't it obvious that we would not get it?

Cheers,
Bernard

I am so depressed by this comment! Go read my first post on page 1, I was happy to be a Devialet owner for a long time. I posted here to say goodbye to what I thought was a good community of audiophiles.

What, I soon discovered was that a very vocal minority of users here, see Devialet as their life blood. I never told anyone to sell their units, I attacked no one, I was rude only to those who treated me rudely.

You are right, I am fool, a complete and total fool. I can't believe I thought I could engage in intelligent conversation here. This whole forum is a cesspool, a cult that makes MAGA's and apple fanboys look like well adjusted individuals.

Who's approval and validation do I want? yours the narcissist, or Peppa's the racist.

And yes I am calling you a narcissist, because since my first post here all you did is speak about how you feel. At no point did you bring anything of value.

What are you scared of? How tiny is your manhood If my posts enrage you all so much? I stopped for over a month. My first post back was to a guy who agreed with me.

You guys could just stop replying with your attacks and I would be gone from here forever! But y'all can't. Because the truth hurts, and each one of you must find some truths in my posts.

Also because this forum is dead like the product it represents! And you all hate seeing it on the top because nothing is happening.

You see, you people don't want to have actual conversations about audio! I hate absolutely hate Wilson speakers. But I can talk for hours with Wilson speaker people. Why? Because we both know speaker choice is a preference, it's a opinion about what sounds right to each person.

I have to same attitude with amps, my first post said that! But you guys scream about feelings when I am talking facts. I am talking price, customer service, communication and most of all value.

Has to your 20,000 posts, wow! What kind of cake would you like, seriously I am very impressed. Also sad because now I know I wasted my chance to have the respect of the great bernardlI "He Who Never Uses All caps". Your legend is long and your tales mighty. First I destroyed my relationship with Peppa The racist Pig and now you. 

But good bye, I await you next final response to me
