It might be worth left SUT/right direct using sweeps and also the reverse.
However, you would have been better not to select mono in the Devialet. What I'd hoped to find is if there are channel FR differences. When you switched to mono you made that impossible. So repeating the SUT on both channel sweeps, and Direct on both channel sweeps, but keeping them in stereo would tell us the answer I think. It will let us know if there are differences in the channels anyway. That also likely will let us see if there are FR differences in the two signal paths SUT vs Direct. Finally with music, at upper frequencies the noise may be intruding on the measurements enough to be a false reading if the sweeps look just fine. That could apply to the below 50 hz frequencies if there isn't much music there and we are simply seeing noise mostly there as well. Most mastering mono'd frequencies below 50 hz on LP.
So, for the next rip, just to clarify:
1. Sweep or music?
2. If music, stereo or mono?
3. If mono music, via mono LP or mono button?
4. Would you prefer the dual 1 channel through the SUT, 1 direct? Or something more normal?
P.S. I went it to the Devialet and adjusted the L/R balance for the cartridge, which is a pain in the butt because you can't do it on the fly. You have to eject the SD cards, go to a computer, stick them in, go the website configuration, create a new config, download it, go back to Devialet, reboot it. Total PITA. They need to add a web server to it, given it has a network connection. Anyway....it's not perfectly balanced, but it's closer than it was (dropped left, added to right).
