Strangely, I have done none of the tweaks Guillaume has suggested, and I love my D800!
It's not a simple case of everything is fantastic though, I've had an interesting night of listening, the same thing happened on two albums, one track sounded simply amazing, a song I know well but it sounded like a new version with the musicians in the room, so much more there. Another track on each album, sounded thin, distorted, generally poor quality. For me, no problem, I am simply discovering how the master sounds, it's a bit of an adventure. Buts that's Devialet, accurate, detailed, maybe ruthless. Warm, no. Some other stuff I listened to tonight I think was mixed warm, and it sounded lush. I'm happy. I was thinking that my old system cost about a fifth of the price of my current one, and it had the advantage that almost everything sounded at least ok. But re listening to everything with the Devialet is an adventure and fascinating, I wouldn't want warm, but each to his own!
I'm looking forward to following a few of Mr G's tweets, I hope the best is yet to come!
Yes, please do, it will be fascinating to hear what you conclude For me, I love the look of McIntosh kit, I wish I had the cash for Dev and Mac!
