Wish I could disagree with your comments but I have seen the light !!!
I upgraded the stock AC cord to entry level Shunyata HC Venom a few weeks ago and it did wonders for the Devialet. So, yes, I agree that power cables make a big difference.
Not being satisfied with the Linn K20 speaker cables I was using, I reached out to a few Devialet dealers to ask what they recommended. In my price range, it was a toss up between the Nordost Red Dawn and the Siltech Explorer L90 and many of the Devialet dealers seem to sell either or both brands. After some consideration, I went with the entry level Siltech Explorer 90L in 2.5m lengths with banana plugs on each end.
Again, I wish I could disagree with your comments but I've been listening to my favourite/reference tracks and albums for the past 5 hours and it's just getting better and better. A wider soundstage, bass seems more articulate and present, higher end seems to sparkle, insane mids, more focus, separation and more detail across the entire band.
Turns out to be a great match for the Devialet and Kudos speakers.
