RE: First impressions - cthroughblue - 05-Apr-2015 Have mine on a cabinet the and on still points RE: First impressions - davidadamson - 06-Apr-2015 Yes Spark still buggy, sometimes stopping in mid track or not moving on to next track - usually requiring a complete re boot - it is beyond my understanding how they could ruin a fine product with this bad software, I have had both Linn DS and Naim streamers and never have encountered anything like this before. Step up to the plate Devialet and get it fixed. RE: First impressions - EvPa - 06-Apr-2015 Mine arrived today from Colette (shipped via UPS), very impressed up to now. I wasn't expecting this in Spark though: Here's a quick shot of their temporary placement: (the "stands" are ADAM Audio ARTist 6s) RE: First impressions - Phs - 07-Apr-2015 (24-Mar-2015, 23:33)streamy Wrote:(24-Mar-2015, 18:53)@stonedragon Wrote: I think one of the most impressive elements of the Phantom is the way it handles music at low volumes. True the headline grabbing feature of 16Hz at 105db is impressive (although I've not verified that for myself), but I think the detail at low volume is more impressive. Why do I say that? Well who really listens to music at max level? For most people living in flats or houses in the city, unless you are having an almighty party, those sort of listening levels is not going to happen. So that brings me onto low level listening. @streamy I agree with your impression about low volume listening. To me when played low, the Phantom still produces low bass with no particular reduction like other speakers normally do. It feels like Devialet is compensating the Fletcher curve depending on volume.

Well who really listens to music at max level? For most people living in flats or houses in the city, unless you are having an almighty party, those sort of listening levels is not going to happen. So that brings me onto low level listening. It is Fletcher Munson equal loudness curve. These were curves arrived at by the average of many listener's tests on the apparent sound level at different frequencies to give the impression of equal loudness. Human hearing is most sensitive at mid frequencies, and very low levels can be detected. To get the impression of equal loudness low and high frequencies need boosting at low levels. Back in the 60s and 70s it was common for amps to have a loudness button which boosted treble and bass for low volume listening (mostt people I know wanted more bass and left it engaged for all volumes). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour Note the threshold of hearing is below 0dB at 2kHz, but one needs around 45dB to just detect 50 Hz. The threshold of hearing crosses the threshold of pain at around 20kHz, which means for a 20kHz tone to be just audible it needs to be loud enough to hurt... Risky for both ears and tweeters!
