Devialet phono stage

[Bruno]

I do agree with Finn : the phonostage issue should be adressed. Furthermore I did not upgrade my D200 because it appeared to me that Devialet is keener to follow a path of innovation than fixing the issues with their current products. When I moved from the basic mm Clearaudio cartridge to the mm Artist v2, a distant hiss became audible as soon as the phono input was selected. Like Axel wrote this hiss is not intrusive ; however it led me to the conclusion that the next step I would consider in order to upgrade the system would be buying another integrated amplifier such as a pricier Diablo 300 with the optionnal phono stage (which as far as I know works perfectely). The D200 is a real excellent sounding amp and a one box solution of a kind, but its openly accepted obsolescence is still a disappointment to me : think to their evo advertisement back in the days.
