Stereo Magazine Devialet 210 Pro Review

[K4680]

The schuko plug used in many countries in Europe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuko) can be inserted into the wall socket in two ways. One way is formally the correct way. Doesn’t matter at all for lights for example but some audio equipment sounds better one way compared to the ‘other way’.

I’ve never tested it myself with my D after reading in a review the right way is how Devialet has implemented it internally. But yes, companies do mess this up, my PS Audio P3 Power Plant (original model) for example has the markings for line and neutral of the outputs reversed.

The ‘right’ way:

About the "right" way: that picture is the male connector or the female connector?

I can see the potential for confusion here! It’s the female connector at the end of the power cable. One can indeed use a simple polarity checker (every hardware store in my country has one) to check if the live is connected to that ‘side‘.

No, this is the built-in socket in the Devialet! The pole that is closer to the housing. Not the end of the power cord!
