Upgrades for the 220 Pro

[Graziano]

Firstly: I don´t believe in cables or most of the other expensive tweaks recommended by audiophiles, so take these recommendations with a grain of salt if you don´t agree...:

Speaker position (if you´re happy with your speakers) and room treatment is what makes a real difference! I´m about to start measuring my room with a miniDSP Umik-1 microphone and REW software (free) and then give Sweet Room a try (although I hesitate a bit, being afraid that this might be a somewhat cumbersome process...).

This being said, when I had trouble connecting my second 220 for a while and therefore only was able to listen to one of the amps, I noticed a big difference (I went from McIntosh + Audio Research straight to 440, so I hadn´t listened to a single 220 before). When I sorted it all out and reconnected the second amp, everything "opened up" again. So, it might not be the answer you would prefer, this being a rather costsome investment (although you can get them real cheap nowadays compared to the original RRP), but adding a second Devialet is a real upgrade soundwise.

Best regards,
Mikael

Thank you very much Mikael for your reply. I think I have the same opinion about cables and so on. As you say, speaker and listening position is really important. I have been thinking about to go for a second 220, so maybe I will go for it if I find the right price.
