Had forgotten how much headphones exacerbate the surface noise....
Since the Devialet allows filter settings on the line out, any suggestions as to where to start?
I'm using a Graham Slee Solo ultra Linear with Grado SR325s..

Surface noise? Your turntable is not in order. Possible:
1. Which cleaning machine are you using? Clearaudio? Okki Nokki? You MUST remove the press residu from the LP you naturally know.
2. How is the set earthed? Look at all the Power cable products from Kemp Elektronics and you learn a lot. Is the ground earth < 0,1 ohms? Pins on the corners of
the house more then 10 meters into the ground? Earth only sound? radio? TV?
3. Is the height of the arm set right? Try different settings
4. The element is connected with the Devialet in a balanced way? Try
5. Headphones don't exacerbate: bigger moving coil speakers can't follow the details in the sound..... Stax vs ESL no difference at all
6. Element tested and needle in order?
