Last weekend's tweak thread drew a red flag report against me. No explanation or comment as to why, just "report & run." You don't like what someone's saying/doing just red flag report the post. Knocks their reputation down a point on the spot just cuz someone didn't like it!?! Do it again, another point and so on. Well, rather than play a childish game of "gotcha last" or red flag quid pro quo with this guy's posts I'm going to pursue this project instead... head-long and all out! If I reach my limit of red flag reports doing it and get booted you'll understand why. But I'm doing the project, audience or not!!
Tomorrow near 5am I'm starting complete disassembly of the Devialet with the goal of doing it in as absolutely few component pieces as possible in an effort to significantly increase SQ, enhance passive cooling efforts and reduce internal temperatures as much as possible with different, wiser, more organic and efficient methods. No rocket science involved! Just simple principles steeped in common sense and a zero 'bling' approach. Making notes along the way of all fastener sizes etc for replacement with non-magnetic stainless on reassembly. Still believe the GUI glass window is gonna be difficult as I believe its glued. But it could also fall right out in my hand. Camera will roll and updates here posted continuously until its done, back together, running cooler than before and playing music with appreciably better SQ than ever! Or I hit an unscalable wall or get invited not to have any fun with you guys any more in which case I'll continue privately. But it's going to be done! Anything/everything magnetic goes away save for the RCA jacks which I don't use so therefore it's limited to a proximal magnetic field issue outside the box and small indeed! If I see a smarter/better more organic way related to ANYTHING while inside at any time, I'll take it! And if this rubs some the wrong way, not my problem and I make no apologies for it. Its mine to do with as I see fit and thank you to all of you who support the effort, agree and/or feel similarly!
Backup sound system is set up and sounds wonderful so the Devialet isn't needed and I'm prepared to live with it that way as long as necessary. This could go on for an hour, a day, a week or a month... maybe longer but its time to put this baby to bed once and for all. I've harped on these issues long enough... time for me to put up or shut up!
Procedure starts tomorrow morning right after my first cuppa joe!
