Phono Stage Expert vs Pro - Marietto - 14-Jan-2021

Hello guys,

I recently updated D200 to D220, everything else has remained unchanged, has the Phonostage changed? the sound is now too "velvety" and with little dynamics, the setting is the same as my ex D200, I feel like I'm listening to an old Linn LP12  Confused

Why not try different RIAA curves? You can try them on the fly

A long press on the tone control gets you a sub menu. When (for example) RIAA1976 appears in blue, rotating the volume changes the curves. If you want to stick with one or exit, press the power button

The differences are subtle

What is wrong with an LP12? Many people still swear by them

Hello ,

I thank you for the advice and I know those functions well, unfortunately they do not solve ..

Which phono cartridge is it?

A suggestion would be to write to Devialet, providing as much info as possible, ie

Make and model of cartridge
The recommended impedance, average and maximum output level
Type and length of interconnect cable
Are there any other components between the cartridge outputs and the amp
How your phono input is set up on their Configurator
Did you make any alterations via the Configurator after receiving the amp back

Since D designed this, they should be able to offer a solution
