Devialet Chat

I have Bauer Audio DPS3 with Bauer tonearm and Lyra Kleos SL. I do feel that my phonostage (TEAD 25th Anniversary) is somewhat better than the Devialet one, but the Devialet phonostage is really good also.

I use my Project turntable with an Ortofon Rondo Red cartridge into my D400. I think the low output of the cartridge is the reason that the phono stage is making enough of a hissing noise to make me switch back to digital after a couple of albums.

The poll's a year old and there's loads of new users. Remeasure?

I use Audio note turntable. TT2 With ortofon cadenza Black caridge

What about the category - I used to own one many years ago - and got rid of it (and my 1500 lps) with the advent of digital music (CDs at the time).  It is such a joy to listen to music without snap crackle and pop and with full, uncompressed dynamic-range.  (I remember, at the time, listening to Shostakovich Symphony No 5 - third movement - and did not have to artificially boost the volume to hear the detail - a veil had been lifted - to quote the advertising hype of the time.)

I was amused, that when I was buying my latest hi fi setup (which included the Devialet), the young sales guys were pushing turntables.  I told them that I got over turntables in 1983 - Before they were born!

 The time I used to spend on caring for and cleaning my lps, and cleaning and adjusting styluses, I now spend on listening to the music

I have 4 turntables but don't play LPs often. I didn't do a big sell off of LPs when I went into CD, and do regret selling any...
Record players are the only bit of a hifi system where I have expertise, having worked at Garrard R&D dept in the 70s, so I know all the strengths and weaknesses of LP replay. The amusing fact is that the greatest strength is that most of the weaknesses are euphonic!

I own a table and play records fairly often, though the convenience of digital and my hectic schedule usually means that I listen way more to my Aurender than my turntable.

I am using a Well Tempered Amadeus with a Dynavector 20x2L cart as input (via an ADC and Toslink) to my Phantom Silver.  The sound is quite full and enjoyable.

I have lp12 and avid acutus and use them both almost daily
