its true, I am accustomed to the tube sound, and it’s true, the Devialet is a bit brighter than the ARC gear I had. There are a few reasons for the switch. I am moving to Europe so I will be in the land of 240v power, and will be down sizing homes by a factor of 35%!
I wasn’t interested in having all the voltage requirements changed on my gear, and I was ready for a smaller system. I listened to the Devialet in my home and I was pleasantly surprised... it sounded different but fantastic. Perhaps mine needs more burn in. Perhaps I can utilize the internal tone controls, or the DSP in Roon (for the digital source anyway).
so, lastly, if I’m looking for the benefits of better speaker cables, perhaps sticking with Cardas is the way to go? I certainly don’t want to brighten up the system! What other speaker cables are also warm and laid back?
