Hi everybody! This is my first post. Had delivered this afternoon a Devaliet 200 and managed to connect my Sonos system, other sources will be added when I sort out various cables and interconnects. First impressions? Wow! Such clarity and accuracy even at low bit rate (192). Can't wait to hear some CDs and high bit rate tracks
. My first track was "Weather in my Head" by Donald Fagen ripped at 192 from the album Sunken Condos and the rest of the album followed. I couldn't stop listening, this amp has more control of my speaker's cones than the MF kW550 that it replaces amp which is a monster by comparison and 10 times more heavy, puts out as much heat as the lounge radiator and uses loads of juice! I stayed on the same plane with some Steely Dan "The Royal Scam" then some Little Feat, Hoy Hoy! "Gringo" which is a beautifully captured live track. By this time my dinner was cold! What's the phono input going to sound like? I nearly started cabling it up but I had to tear myself away...
