Hi Everyone,
Well, I finally acquired the Ortofon SUT. It did substantially improve the sound of the system and in fact, it sounds pretty amazing. That said, I still think that Devialet can try harder to address this issue. It's clearly been going on for years and my turntable specialist (who is also a sound engineer) believes that it could be addressed through a firmware update.
Here's hoping that Devialet does indeed attempt to live up to their claims regarding the phono stage as being the most advanced on the planet and reduces that noise floor with low output cartridges. They have a near perfect system and they shouldn't allow such an obvious weak link keep them from reaching perfection.
