Hi Ekmanc,
works for me as well. Similar improvement as with the WBT nextgen mod on my speakers, but not so big. But for free...
Glad to hear it

What do you mean? why don't you have to try it because you have those cables? the tweak works with all cables.
Silver pins of Kondo SPc are very, very thin and the only possible way to connect them to speaker plugs is put pins inside the holes and screw them with outer casing.

Ah that explains it, but it sounds like a terrible way of connecting your cables.
Terrible? What do You mean? Kondo speaker cables - all types - have only silver pins. This is very special way of ending cables and not very useful. But Kondo says it is the best one for the sound.

A reviewer in positive-feedback online magazine says:
,,SPc sounds smooth, but not to excess, and it is MUCH BETTER than everything I've tried, except some of the mega-buck speaker cables."
and THIS IS TRUE.
On att. photo I spot sth that looks like black cable from Acoustic Revive Grounding Conditioner RGC-24.

Am I right? I have it and I am wondering where You put that black circle?

I have pure silver solid core cables from german-highend, they are also terminated with pure silver bananas. They are hollow and I can use a knife to widen them if required. I need some pressure to move them into the Devialet's connectors. If I see that correctly then you could do the same. If the pins are loose then something is wrong and you should complain...
I think that my explanations was wrong. This photo shows all;-)
Found that - Klick.What are Yours preffered USB cables? Anyone compared this Transparent USB cable with any high price USB cables (Audioquest Diamond)?
Hi all,
My first post here...
I also have a pair of Devialets, an odd configuration with one 240 and one D-Premier in dual mono (yes it works beautifully). I now have the new beta firmware and quite happy with the results...
I tried the Phono input but there is significant amount of hiss, noticeable from the listening chair from 16db volume. I can hear the hiss between the songs and at quiet passages and it should be hurting the overall quality.
Cartridges are Koetsu Urushi Sky Blue (60Ohm loading) and Lyra Skala (100 Ohm loading) (I use both phono inputs) and the hiss is there for both of them.
Any experience? Suggestions?
Thanks
Was the hiss noticeable prior to the beta software?
I take it you mean '-16dB' not 16dB above the 0dB mark, because if it's +16dB, I'm not surprised you are hearing hiss. That's loud enough that the cartridge is picking up the background radiation of the universe across its coils!
Have you re-enabled AIR modules after the firmware update? It seems as if the AIR module goes hunting for Wi-Fi when not allied to a specific wireless network, and the phono stage gets caught in the crossfire. Also, I'm not quite sure how you are making this dual mono if you are using both phono sections. One Devialet should be acting as master, the other slave, and it sounds like you might be breaking that rule somehow.
I'd suggest as a test, configuring them as master/slave. Disabling both AIR and the phono input in the slave amp, and either disabling or fully setting up AIR in the master. I'd also suggest using the Skala as its probably going to be the one that draws your attention to the hiss all the more.
Guys I received an Entreq Silver Tellus ground box today and is doing wonders to my D500 right now.
Cheers...
