Devialet 170

Really, really dead chuffed for you Dave. Welcome back to the show that never ends ;)

.... if it's a slight reduction in treble I'd cheerfully accept that.

Don't read too much into that Simon. I wasnt completely certain of it. You can dial down the treble by a few dB in the Devialet anyway.
One slight annoyance though was a slight boomy bass on occassion but I've always had that issue in the back room in Cloney's with it being a cube etc.

Thanks Dermot. Time to resurrect that Guess the Lp thread soon perhaps! ;-)

Zero, and I mean ZERO problems with boomy bass on Devialet. It has some of the tightest and cleanest bass I've heard. Back room probably a likely culprit there alright.

Are you going to try the speakers at home before committing?

Happy days :)

Absolutely. It would be foolish not to do so.

As an aside, that Wadia 302 is nice looking player. I only listened to its dig out though.

Congrats Dave hope it all works out well this time. Make sure you get a good long demo at home to be sure.

Prodigal Son is back!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back Dave................ I knew you would return.............it's time for a beer.......... for he was lost and now is found in the happy arms of a Devialet 170!!

[KenMoran]

Congratulation Ken.
Welcome back to the fray Dave.

I really liked the 170 when we ran it into the EIST Dubhs.
Very tempting indeed.
Maybe down the road.

I hope you both have hours and hours of pleasure with your kit.

Thanks Gerry - if you're ever up around Belfast and fancy a listen, give me a shout.
ATB, Ken

Oops didn't know the devialet doesn't work from a sever!

That's strange I thought the air module is a streamer like the standalones.
Really don't want to run a pc while listening but I could use my sonos but that doesn't do hi-res downloads which was partially why I wanted to upgrade.

Think I'll give cloneys a call next week, wonder will it be possible for devialet to upgrade the firmware to use a server but I guess if they can they would've done it by now.
Dissappointing as thought I could have a one box solution!
