That's a very pale looking 'gold'. So that must be the new Phantom with 4500Watt.

Maybe the side panel is gold instead of chrome. I new he just went to get a freebie.

According to the Norwegian stor, here are the differences, compared to a Silver Phantom:
- 4,500W vs. 3,000w, 108dBSPL@1m vs. 105dBSPL@1m
- Distortion: 0.0005% (down from 0.001%), Background Noise : 0,5 dB SPL at 50cm (the same measurement used to be quoted at 3m)
- ADH Intelligence v2
- SAM v2
- seems to have a new DAC integrated into ADH Intelligence v2
- the side drivers seem to be white like the non-Silver Phantom but the metal side plates are apparently "22-carat pink-gold-plated"

The frequency response is also written differently, 14Hz-27kHz-6dB | 20Hz-20kHz±2dB (compared to 16Hz-25kHz±2dB@82dBSPL, 28Hz-25kHz±2dB@92dBSPL, 49Hz-25kHz±2dB@102dBSPL).

I'm still not sure a Gold Phantom was necessary. It only appears to be about 5% better than the Silver one. I still think they should have put analogue phono connections on the rear to use it with conventional preamps. I think that would have appealed to more folk who maybe aren't too fussed on streaming services like myself.

Interestingly, not yet available on the French Devialet Web site (nor the UK site for the matter)...
