The immense and new Gobel Divin.

Great scale, effortless, easy. A bit too easy to be interesting? I'll give it some more attention tomorrow.

The decent camera has managed more pics than I thought. Just can't take videos without noise and re-booting it numerous times results in it behaving differently each time. Very schizo.

Can't post the better pics til I get back.

If you can't see the above pic I am not surprised. Can't get the embed code on my mobile. I will sort it later.

I like the idea that the speaker binding posts can be tightened with a 1/2" spanner. No doubt it will make KK tumescent with desire - that egregious Breuget looking power meter will do it!

If it was all black it might not look too bad, but copper/silver is IMO just too 'blingy' - Jules Verne'ish steam-punk.

Is 'Relentless' really a good name for an amplifier? And why do all these new high end amps look like they were designed by Captain Nemo?

And the price! I could buy 4 houses in my street for that money. How can a case, a traffo and some resistors and caps cost the same as 4 houses? And don't give me this 'R&D is expensive' nonsense. The bloke's been making amps for 30 years, you can't tell me he a hasn't figured out all the angles already.

Maybe Nemo charges a fortune for his casework design? I suppose he does have a nuclear submarine to keep running so I can see why he might be expensive. But if that's the case get someone else to design it. I'm sure I could sketch out something equally as hideous and I'll only charge £300 plus VAT. Dan, are you listening? Dan....?

Managed to grab a few pictures of the show yesterday.

It was heaving and I reckon the number of people was up at least half compared to last year.

Some really lovely stuff. Lots of bling as well.

Here is a link to pictures I took yesterday.

Sorry I've got no time at the moment to embed any pictures here. Feel free to do so.

A mere 5.5Kw powersupply no less! 6000w into 2 ohms. I can see where that would come in useful in any domestic environment

And I need some new amps for the 5.1 system. Now let me see that means the total cost will be.....Can anyone lend me £1.5M??

Great pics Edward. Thanks for sharing.

Great pics Edward. Some shiny things there!
I bet those horns had you drooling!

Show all over will post some thoughts tomorrow.

Two threads of the same name. My fault. Can a modster add the word report as the last word on this one? Cheers.

It's actually 250,000 for a pair of monoblocks, so for a 5-1 system only 750,000 making it a true bargain
