Cartridges and phono settings

[Confused]

I have a tip, setting the maximum cartridge output can be tricky. Set too high vs the actual cartridge output and the amps power supply is forced to work to hard. Set too low, and you can get clipping, the dreaded orange flashing dot appearing on the remote app display. Some cartridge outputs are listed as so many uV at 1 kHz / 5 m/s or similar. The point being that this is not actually a maximum figure. Trial and error is needed to fine tune this, but you can check the level by scrolling through the menus on the Devialet display, until the sound level bars appear. This display gives an indication of how close you are getting to 0 db. I'd like to claim to be the very cleaver guy who thought of this, but I got this one from Ali at Oxford Audio, he in turn got it from another customer, so there is a cleaver chap out there somewhere.
