I have owned various Devore Fidelity speakers.. I fell in love with them two decades ago in NYC, when it was not yet such a well-known brand and nobody knew about it in my country, Italy. The O/Bronze arouses something different in me. It probably has to do with the fact that it is the culmination of a "new" path taken with the production of the O/96 and that it allowed John to experiment with the right steps to refine the O/96. In a few words, an approach driven by love and passion, what sets Devore apart from most hifi brands. Since I could not get the Twenty, I am now really excited to know that I can own a pair here in Italy. Thank you John! Francesco

Congratulations and best wishes to you and Mr Komuro for the amplifiers! Thank you for sharing the factory floor. Huge huge thumbs up for using harpsichord for driver break-in!

Wow - it really is a much more contained hand built business than I was envisaging. Totally see there is love in those products.

We are tiny--much smaller than most people realize.

I’d love a pair of 0/96 they’d be my last speakers definitely, can’t wait to hear the amplifier

Loved seeing the shop! Thanks for sharing your happy place with us. Really hoping to make it to AXPONA this year. Super interested in hearing the 300b pairing.

Hi John, fascinating to see behind the scenes view of the factory ! Thanks so much. Hope Chicago goes well, greetings from Australia. I need to get to Gosford for a demo listen.

Hello John. Have you had the chance to listen your speakers with the Riviera Levante amplifier?

@melbguy1 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the tour John. Very interesting. But I was curious why there wasn't any testing equipmement in sight, such as an oscilloscope, voltage tester, multimeter, tube tester etc?

Schwinn 3 speed Fastback maybe? I don't remember the specific models, there were so many. Very, very cool. I'd suspect we're very close to the same age!

That's a Stingray Crate I fixed up for my kid years ago.

There's going to be an O/Bronze, how cool is that? Is it similar or same as the Twenty? Are you going to demo it in Munich?

If I didn't like it I'd never use it at a show! For a preamp that contains a streaming DAC and an adjustable-curve phono stage, it's fantastic! The DAC is legendary, and the MM phono (using MC step-up transformers) is excellent. Not as much with the MC direct.

So what’s the go with the O/Bronzes? Better bass response than the O/96? I only ask because when I finally get round to upgrading my system, I’d rather save money and space, and only get one set of speakers… I know I’m on the hook for a couple amplifiers, due to the eclectic nature of my record collection, but speakers take up a lot of space.

what turntable mat was that on the 401?

My 401 uses a Shindo platter and bearing. The mat is part of that package.

Why demo it with 78s?

@DeVOREFIDELITY 6 ай бұрын

I love 78s, there is much great music on them. And most people have never heard a 78 played back through a hi-end system with proper EQ. A HiFi show is a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how they sound. Of course we'll be playing modern LPs as well.
