very excited (and feeling very fortunate) to have received a new Devialet 120 yesterday, thought I'd share a few pics with you guys 
Was originally going to get a Hegel H160, but when I realised I could get this unit for less money new (sale) it was a no brainer.
Went from a Marantz PM6005 --> Creek Evolution 50A --> Devialet 120 with a pair of Bower & Wilkins 805 Diamond speakers, noticeable jumps in performance between each amp, great pairing at the moment... especially with Speaker Active Matching (Devialet SAM)

I have a Preamp that I picked up and looking inside it has a motorized Alps volume. I think it is more a SS preamp with 2 tubes to add some tube sound.
I bought a nice Stepped antenuator (64 steps) a while ago for another project but it did not happen.
I am now thinking it may be a nice upgrade to my current preamp.
Inside the Pre there is some other circuitry around the volume that may be the delay circuit? 2 relays next to the volume.
Looking at my pics, does anyone think it may be a good idea to pursue changing the volume?
I was going to take it a technician to do the work.
The company behind this preamp also makes a higher end model that has an optional stepped attenuator to purchase with it.
Or I can just be happy with the Alps in my preamp and sell the stepped one I have.
Planning to keep this Preamp for the long haul.
There was one part in the manual that made me think I could be creating a problem attempting to get the volume changed.
" equipped with a proprietary control and monitoring system we call Power Management. This is an "electronic brain" within the amp that regulates and controls all of the amplifier's functions. It includes the Soft Start Electronics that gently ramp up the heating and supply voltages to save wear and tear on the components. In the event of a problem, the Power Management's protection system will disconnect the unit from the power supply. Power Management helps us to achieve a completely consistent sound while at the same time ensuring the total reliability of our products."

Item: Vincent Audio SV-400 Integrated Amplifier
Location: Forestville NSW
Price: $425 plus postage
Item Condition: Used but excellent condition
Reason for selling: Change of rooms setup so no longer required.
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal
Extra Info: The SV-400 is the entry-level integrated amplifier from Vincent Audio. I've been using it in one of my rooms away from my main system, but I've been very impressed with its performance and value for money. I'm the original owner, having had it for 10 months. It is a solid 10+ kg. Comes with remote.
The added bonus which I didn't realise initially was that it includes a USB DAC. Although no world-beater, I used it successfully with my Squeezebox Touch and was happy enough to use it. (Note that it is USB-A input - I have the A-to-A USB included cable, but forget about using your top-class USB cable with it. )
I've got the double-box so fine to ship it at the buyer's expense.
See http://www.vincent-tac.de/en/product-lines/onsetline/sv-400/ for more details.

Extra Info:
Purchased this from fellow SNAer qwerter in July last year.
I hope he does not mind me reusing his advert for this really clean phono.
All original boxes included.

Pictures: see above link.
I've seen RCA/XLR socket caps advertised. Silicon+plastic will protect the sockets from dust and corrosion.
There are metal ones sold which claim sonic benefits to the devices by shielding against RFI and EMI. Is there any benefit to this, or is it just more audiophile snake-oil? Some are designed for shorting or non-shorting applications - when would these be used?. If there is benefit, would the same effect be obtained by buying a new RCA or XLR plug, sealing the end to dust-proof it, and inserting it into the sockets?
It has been suggested that CD players are improved by inserting a shorted RCA plug into the digital out socket (if it's not been used), and for purists to short it with a 75-ohm resistor. But for all unused inputs/output sockets?

Front photo is of actual unit, rear photo taken from the net. Everything is the same except for the serial number.
You know what I mean - the little plug-in 'caps' that you can substitute for a valve rectifier.
Does anyone have experience with these?
What are the downsides? The only one I can think of is that there will be no 'soft start'. There must be others, otherwise everyone would be using them.

Just wondering with the below device if it would add the delay in the analogue domain or whether it is in effect a ADC/DAC and adding the delay in the digital domain as an offset...?

Does anyone here have experience with one of these... did it affect SQ negatively?
Cheers,
