RE: Devialet Expert 120 and Thorens Turntable - Jean-Marie - 12-Dec-2021 ^___ That’s a very wise advice: Don’t rush and wait to be able to judge by yourself with your system and your ears.

There's no easy answer because one's tolerance of noise is very individual, and of course there is no magic output level at which it suddenly disappears. That is sane and helpful advice. Thanks. I shall curb my neurosis and wait and see how the Supex goes. It may all be a non-issue, and if so I shall save money (which will please my wife, who sees an amplifier is an amplifier is an amplifier). The pressure I feel comes from Christmas around the corner, and with stores likely closing or deliveries being slowed for a while if there is a need for changes to the system. Any advice on setting up the MC line input? I assume that the only configuration open, after setting it to MC, and the output to 200 Regards from Perth Derek RE: Devialet Expert 120 and Thorens Turntable - derekcohen - 27-Dec-2021 Some progress notes .... How did the Supex work with the MC input? I'd say that the result is about 95%. I listened to Bill Evan's "You Must Believe in Spring", which I have had for 40 years. I had been using a Harmon Kardon HK6500 amp (70 wpc and high current), which saw off a Musical Fidelity A3.2. The HK produced a good sound, but the Devialet/Supex lifted the game to another level. Clearer, more detailed, sweeter. Why 95% and not 100%? Well, there is no hum as I feared. However, there is a faint noise coming from both speakers which is like a slight pulse. It is hidden behind the music and only apparent when the sound is turned down. It rises and falls with the volume. It is not present when the phono is changed to another input. I am hoping someone will comment about this.
