When it comes to Devialet phono sound quality,
I have seen a bunch of posts on hiss and cartridge setup.
A few more on step up transformers.
Very few on overall phono sound quality.
I am talking about the audiophile check list (transparency, dynamics, tone, imaging, etc.)
and also about the emotional connection.
At least for the 1000 Pro, there is quite an investment here with around $35,000 (USA).
If you have that kind of budget, you probably had the money to afford some excellent
analog integrated or separate components before you moved over to Devialet.
Bottom line, does the phono section in the new Pro lineup deliver?
Can it compete if not provide better SQ than your last system?
Please provide your former bench mark analog components including
phono amp, preamp, and amp so that we can better understand.
I am assuming of course that the turntable, arm and cartridge are the same.
If not, please qualify.
