Dare I ask for some pictures? I know folks here will appreciate that! By the way I came from a full Linn Klimax rig... also check out the photos of my system you'll see I'm using GIK tri-traps! I have an Isotek Sigmas box too although this is only for my Oppo blu-ray player, ADA processor and Sky box. Guillaume RE: SteveO's System - moreno1973 - 26-Jul-2014 Hello. Nice system... Gyro SE is for me the most amazing turntable in respect of its design. I don't have vinyl records but maybe one day I will start with this hobby. And in this moment I will buy Gyro SE. Just a great pleasure to watch it working... Is 200 enough to drive 802D? No lack of power? How big is Your room?

I have a good sized room, at about 7 m X 6 m. The D200 is enough to comfortably drive the 802s at the moderate volume levels I generally use. I have recently tried a D400 in my system. The speakers responded well to the extra power with better dynamics and a tighter low bass. It was very enjoyable. For now I am going to stick with the single D200. It does what I need it to and strangely, listening to the D400 confirmed just how good the basic D200 is. RE: SteveO's System - SteveO... - 02-Aug-2014 (26-Jul-2014, 17:57)GuillaumeB Wrote: Nice! Welcome to Devialet Chat! Guillaume, thanks for the welcome. I've had a load of Linn kit over the years; LP12, Kheilidhs, Kinos, Ikemi, 5100, Unidisk 1.1 and most recently a Klimax (Chakra) Twin power-amp (with an ARC LS26 pre). Having recently moved to a new home with a much bigger listening room, I found the Twin/802s sounding thin and lacking in bass. The Devialet has fixed that problem, so much so that I now need the bass traps Anyway, I have attached some pictures. Damn, I can see I need to do some dusting! RE: SteveO's System - SteveO... - 12-Nov-2015 Blimey! Lots has changed since I posted this up. Currently listening to: Aurender X100L D400 B&W 802Ds GyroSE (+ Orbe bits), SME 309 and Dynavector XX-2 I've also moved house and my new listening room is quite a bit smaller than before. Consequently I have invested in lots of GiK Tri-Traps, Monster Traps and 244 Traps which have done a fantastic job of preventing the big B&Ws from overwhelming the room. RE: SteveO's System - SteveO... - 04-May-2016 The speaker fairies have visited. The current system is: Aurender X100L D400 Wilson Benesch Vectors HiFi Racks Podium Slimline Akorner XL Lots of GIK room treatment; 4 x TriTraps, 2 x Monster Traps, 2 x 244 Traps The GyroSE / SME 309 / Dynavector XX-2 is currently in storage while I decide where to set it up in the room. The Vectors are the big change; the old 802Ds were just too big for the room. The Vectors are a more appropriate size and have shocked me with how much better they sound than the B&Ws. The SAM profile works very well too (@ 50%). This is easily the best sound I have had out of any of my systems . |
