There has been some speculation in other threads that the original D-Premier amp had a higher specification phono stage than the later Expert models. Personally, I have no idea if this is true or not, or what the differences are either technically or subjectively.
However, assuming this is true, and I have no reason to believe it is not, then it strikes me that @Hifi_swlon 's amplifier is the ultimate one box Devialet for those that want to run a TT. Consider that you get both the original superior D-Premier phono stage and the latest 250Pro CI specification amplifier in one box. Plus, a second-hand price bonus from full retail. What's not to like?
