The colour is worth every penny.
Excellent. I hope you enjoy your new arrival. Plus, this means you now have a set of decent power and interconnect cables, about time too!
I am not using the new cables, I just connected up to the ones used with the 800.
The ones I had were quite decent, or expensive anyway, bought when I still thought there was a difference between cables between 15 and 20 years ago. The mains cables are Goldmund as is the SPDIF between Sooloos and Devialet. The interconnect between SUT and amp is Goldmund Lineal, I have shed loads of them. The cable between arm and SUT is a dedicated MIT with the special Lemo plugs needed for the T3f arm. The cables between my surround sound preamp and the TV passthrough input are long MIT's.
I have loads of spare interconnects after going phono amp + preamp + monoblocs + 2 tape machines to just the Devialet. I could even do another compare if I really wanted to, but I prefer listening to music instead.
The sound is lovely already.
Jon tells me it will get better with time but we will see, I am a burn in sceptic. My first D-Premier sounded fantastic from new, just like the demo unit. The second I bought in order to go dual-mono sounded hard and very disappointing so Jon swapped it for another which, again, sounded fantastic from new. It was only when people started discussing burn in that I wondered if the original second unit I had would have mellowed with age.
Congrats Frank!
