I've had a Devialet 200 for a month and have been sampling a few different power cables. I use a RSA Haley as the power conditioner, which is plugged into a dedicated electrical circuit with an Oyaide R1 outlet.
In a few related searches, I came across this comment from a power conditioner manufacturer which caught my attention. He more or less stated..."regardging IEC input filters, Corcom electrical filters simply suck (and one of the reasons he developed his own power conditioner line) for audio use in general. Used in conjunction with his power conditioners, there can be a high Q resonance set up between the Corcom and his conditioner...resulting in too many untuned filter poles.
It makes me wonder how audible this untuned filter conflict may be.
Does Devialet use Corcom? Or, some equivalent?
If we are typically using a quality audiophile power conditioner / ac filter and power cable, would it be worth pursuing a way to bypass, or elimimate the IEC input filter? (this is the Tweaker's Corner after all...)
Thanks
