Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.
The more insidious thing about the Phantoms is not their cost, or relative sound quality, but that they are not repairable! The 'buy it then send it to landfill' model has moved distinctly upmarket from the usual supermarket TVs etc. Devialet offer an extended warranty where your faulty unit will be swapped for a good one if you're on the scheme, otherwise landfill.
The original Naim Muso was also sealed, but I believe the new version can be repaired.
