The sound is the polar opposite from the Roksan: utterly stable speed, dark background, fine detail and huge bass. Not a fair comparison in all respects I know because the Ortofon is a vastly better cartridge than I was using before. I have been fiddling around with the loading and output settings on the D200 which is very easy. I do not totally agree with the Devialet default settings for the Ortofon.
In answer to my original question, I think you could probably use a very esoteric deck and cartridge with the D200, certainly the Xtension is now bettering all the other digital inputs I can muster.
Welcome to the Pro-ject - Cadenza - Devialet club! I have certainly had many hours of fun with my similar combo. Enjoy!
Thanks Confused. I am certainly enjoying hearing some LP's I bought in the 70's and 80's in vastly improved sound. I think I may even give my early Motown singles a go at the weekend!
