Description

Updated April 22, 2024 - Finally completed the multi-month upgrade to my vinyl front-end. Traded out my beloved Basis 2500 TT for an Audiogon-sourced Transrotor Zet 3.2 from Germany. The Basis was wonderful but time for a change and the Zet definitely makes a visual statement. Also amazing craftsmanship and dead quiet PS. The Zet exceeded the weight and size limitations of my previous Finite Elemente rack so ended up selling that here - and replacing with a new Adona Eris 5C rack. Rock solid with granite and cherrywood shelves - very happy with the new configuration.

Recently moved to a smaller place in Encinitas and needed to downsize. Pretty happy with the sound from this new configuration so thought I would share.
Like many of you, I have been on the audiophile treadmill for quite a while - over 2 decades now.
While I've had more expensive systems, I would say few match the overall coherence of this setup. The components work well together. The Wilsons dovetail nicely with the SVS (a wonderful sub) to deliver very flat response from 20 - 20K. And the Devialets are incredibly versatile - delivering clean, quiet power to effortlessly drive the Wilsons to concert level SPLs.

Nice rig. Very interesting ideal going with the Devialet system. I will be going into a major downsizing  operation soon too and  that might be an option. I definitely like the form factor and styling of the Devialet. Thanks  for posting.
