Absolutely no risk if PayPal was used for payment.

I've just noticed that the seller has changed his username to buckingham007. Strange. Obviously a scam, but I will need to wait until the expected delivery date has passed before lodging a claim.

Thanks for that information - I might try to do just that.

It's still in my eBay purchase history. Have you contacted eBay to find out why it was removed?

Haven't heard back, but it is a long weekend.

Did anyone else on here buy one from him?

Yip, I really need to listen to one.

That's the problem - sometimes I prefer tubes (for vocal, jazz, etc), sometimes I prefer solid state (for electronic, etc)

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm just listening to my McIntosh MC275 power amp and I'm not sure that I'm ready to part with it. So I'm wondering if I could use the Devialet for 50% of my listening and the Devialet (as a DAC/pre) with the Mac for the other 50%? I'm worried that I would miss the tubes for some music. Thoughts? Edit: is it even possible to deactivate the power amp section of the Devialet?

That's interesting, I hadn't considered that. Thank you.

Thanks for the information, Jeff. I guess I would probably be using the internal DAC, so I would only need one set of RCA inputs, although another would be advantageous.

I'm considering simplifying my audio setup and so I've been doing some research into Devialet. I haven't paid much attention to the range before now, but my requirements would be: enough power for Sonus Faber Cremona M speakers (4ohm, SAM compatible) tape in/out (for Revox reel to reel) sub output (don't have one yet, but will do so in the future) I'll be buying used, so if anyone could offer advice as to what I should be looking for it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Sean

Have just sent an email asking if local pickup would be ok - I live just a few KM away.

Just thinking.....if it was a scam, surely he/she would be listing something other than $80 turntables?

Bought one.....we'll see what happens!
