Hi there, just wanted to throw this out and see if anybody has any suggestions:
I recently updated my Linn LP12 and changed cartridge from an old, retipped, Arkiv to a new Crystal.
To cut a long story short, either the Crystal does not seem to be compatible with my Devialet Expert 200 or there's something else going on.
I have tried every single possible setting from the configurator, changed inputs, changed loads, factory reset, older firmware, nothing. The sounds is always very wrong: just higher frequencies, no bottom end and no "center fill" - there's no "central" voice on vocal recordings. Very very strange!
I have another record player and I checked the phono input on the Devialet and it seems to be working fine with other MC's (Audiotechnica and Ortofon SPU's), it works fine with MM as well and worked fine with my old low output Arkiv MC. I also tried the Crystal with a separate Phono stage direct to a Devialet line input (Project Tube Box SE) and it's working fine.
Any ideas?
