The closest approach to the original sound has born again.....
Since 1981 I own Quad electrostatics. And yes, the Devialet200 is marvelous on them (2812; 60C Dev temperature). I sold my Quad tubes with Italian North Star pre pre and that for a Quadie. The distortion of a Quad speaker can be very low; no speakers can do that. Just like Devialet does in amplification and the combination is unbeatable and cheap (in a way, I know). Therefore I thought: I buy a Wooaudio converter and put the Devialet quality into Stax electrostatics. No tubeamplifiers anymore. And it works. Cheap....Only ......the WBT costs are higher then the converter itself, but so what? My Kemp powerconditioning with vdHul mainstream is more expensive then the Devialet as well and it works. Super.
I neverwhere heard this quality of sound in Munich last May. And I was there a couple of days......
Next steps: Phantom in 5.1 when it arrives and listening to the 400. Not done yet.
