View Full Version : Silverstoned 2015, Pictures, Videos & Thoughts
If you are just after pics, look here (https://goo.gl/photos/jgJtvXxWTf975W388). I have just dumped everything I took in the time I was there, compressed, no edits or deletions.
I've taken a few videos, which are uploading now. However, the rooms where just too dark for those to be great.
Message to all showsters - if you want to promote your goods at a show, keep the room light. That means the pics and videos that wind up on the net will probably look much better than otherwise. Your choice.
Dalek Supreme - feel free to use any pics as per previous years.

The most interesting speaker for me was the omni ribbon from Zeta Zero pictured above. Can't remember what the salesperson said they were called. But I do remember 17Hz to very high HF (did he say 50 or 60KHz?), 2200 Watts class D, and most importantly, £60K. Not cheap.
However, bass extension sounded appreciably low, rendition of some organ music packed with resolution. Literally - massive amounts of detail. These sounded more consistent off axis than any MBL model I have come across - including the 101 Xtremes at nearly £200K or so.
The huge scale, and massive amount of information presented at high volume make these quite something to listen to. There are two aluminium looking cones firing upwards and downwards inside the circular columns. I saw some quite large excursions occurring.
This is unquestionably a very high performance loudspeaker. It isn't what I would call an easy listen by any means. Some might consider it just too much to live with. In fact I am sure a lot of people would think that. But if you think you could cope, and have £16K to spare, the smaller version, which has not yet be finalised, will give MBL some competition in omni-space. The smaller one is pictured below.

Room too dark for a decent video and this is a bit shaky too. At least it gives an idea of the vibe,

These things look like they could throw Tesla coil emissions at any moment. The spirit of Bela Lugosi was in the room.

S'alright Phil. Have some Devialet Phantoms:)

I was kind of curious about these. Some bizarre Devialet marketing going on in the background.
Was I impressed? No. Was the bass massive? Not really. Was the room too big for them? Definitely.
My ears told me that there was a bit of a "plasticy" colouration going on, detail resolution was not that high, scale not that great. I'm not even remotely interested in buying a pair, which is disappointing as I thought they might go down well in the lounge.
After reading a lot about them, I am actually disappointed. Each to their own, I suppose.

Interesting. It appears to be no different to any other album I have in there. Give up will suss it out tomorrow, if it doesn't just start working of its own accord.
I'll see (hear) it all myself tomorrow :).
See if you agree with my BS;)

The new Google Photos definitely sucks quite a bit.
Yes, let's see. I have to say I've been really rather impressed by the YG and mbl speakers I've heard - and it doesn't sound like, from previous posts, that you have been.

MBLs? No I like them quite a bit. To live with day to day I'd take 101 Xtremes over the Zeta Zeros, money no object.
YG - no, and not only because they themselves thought they were the best speakers in the world.
nope, 404 error now.

Great pictures! It only took me half-an-hour to get past the turntable pics -- they're just beautiful.
I wasn't going to bother going, but those pics have made me change my mind. Thanks!
Well have a good time Peter.
Anyway, for me, recovering from the Devialet Phantoms, Teddy Pardo does rather better with his small speakers.
Lots of resolution on display with Teddy's system, he likes a relatively bright, finely detailed, spacious sound. And it is good. Paired with a decent sub it could be even better.
The video has the weird hum which is NOT coming from Teddy's system. I actually think it is from my camera, but it stops about hallway through. Teddy is the dude sitting down on the right hand wall.

I have come down with a bad clogged up kind of a cold so will not be able to get there today :( so thanks for the great pics, Justin :thumbsup:
I have heard there were some MBLs there? If so, what model?
It's kind of good to hear the Devialet Phantom disappointed you, I was starting to get a bit curious about them! :D
I'd be amazed if you'd like the Phantom's, Jerry. But you never know you have surprised me in the past. I was with George and Kev, and when I asked George about them (as he had heard them) beforehand, he wasn't too keen either TBH. He had not swayed me in any way. I just didn't like them. I found them too smooth as well. No bite at all.
The only MBL gear at the show was in the Audio Emotion room driving the omni-ribbon Zeta Zero i.e. using the tools of "the enemy" to try and beat MBL at their own game. Cheeky.:eyebrows:
I'd be really quite interested in hearing the 16K version of that speaker with some music I actually like.
I met the new head of the Wam - Antonny - over lunch. Seem like a very decent chap. Liked him quite a bit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WGDSqAmgig
Wilson Alexia's sounding not too far away from last year. Listening to these videos today on the 2nd system and I have to say they give no fair idea of what these systems sounded like in the flesh. You have to have been there or go today.
Dan's amps appeared to not be on. Maybe the displays were switched off.
Hearing these amps with Wilson's at Munich I have to say this room was managing really quite a bit better to be fair. So hard to be fair with differing source material and rooms etc etc.
Some very nice kit in the Longdog room. Nick had a TT that looked worthy of his rather expensive phono stage. He told me it is belt or idler drive. You change by lifting the platter and putting the belt on. A 5 minute job. It looked rather well made too. I didn't ask the price, but it is a Reed Muse 3C (http://www.reed.lt/products/turntables/all/17-turntables/muse-3c).
Other goodies where a speaker with an ESL super tweeter, Pass Labs XA100.5, Nick's own £10K phono stage etc etc.
The sound was pretty good TBH. You're probably not going to knock anyone for six in a small room with small speakers, but hopefully likely buyers will see through this. You don't spend £10K on a phono stage without enough experience to realise that.
Since the TT looks better at the show than on the website, here's a couple of photos I didn't compress (but of course Google do) before uploading:

Some of you may have seen that we went retro in the Art Audio room with the 15" Monitor Golds in GRFs. Despite being told by numerous people that big horns would not work in that small a room. That was of course, nonsense as the people who sat, in one case for over an hour to listen, will attest. Also, we opted to drive them with a real world amp, rather than one of Tom's uber designs, so we used a Quintet mk2 in triode mode. 15 watts of EL34 glory, driven by the Composer Duo TT into the Vinyl One, though we did have PS Audio digital sources. Nice to put Some faces to names on here too. I'm not there today sadly, but Tom is of course, so I hope those going today enjoy it.

Another very dark room. Then again it ALWAYS is. Tucked away in the remote corner of the show, as usual, the Tomei 18 Watt amp, stuffed with ELROG 211s, possibly returned the best rendition of the Beatles "When I'm 64" I've ever heard. It just sounded effortlessly real. Brilliant.
The clip isn't my scene - I only caught the end of the Beatles unfortunately. You can see the equipment for real in the flash photos, but the Tomeri amp is just about caught as I move up close to it.

Thanks for that Peter, it means a lot to know that others liked it too :) Paul Messenger was really complimentary as well.
New Chord Dave DAC build quality looks very high too. Just no opportunity for the kind of mechanical engineering the Nagra entertains, though.

Big band sound from Mike Valentine's Studer that now seems to be a regular appearance, Soulution, Art Audio Alnico Reference.
The video is shaky but you try dodging the people, trying to avoid people walking into the FOV etc etc. Anyway, it is was it is and this one really does somehow seem to give the flavour of the room much better than the other videos have.
I'm guessing big brass band lovers would, have, er, loved it!:)

Linky no worky....
Marco.
Big band sound from Mike Valentine's Studer that now seems to be a regular appearance, Soulution, Art Audio Alnico Reference.
The video is shaky but you try dodging the people, trying to avoid people walking into the FOV etc etc. Anyway, it is was it is and this one really does somehow seem to give the flavour of the room much better than the other videos have.
I'm guessing big brass band lovers would, have, er, loved it!:)

And all I get with that, if I try to play it, is a message saying "This video is private"...
Marco.
Photo of the show for me. Just can't beat these Nagra R2Rs!!!

Linky no worky, either. Looks like you're still having problems, mate.
Marco.
Indeed. All seems fine on my machine even if I log out, so it is hard to test. It also works on my phone. What annoys me is, as you should know from past stuff I've done, I've never really had a problem with photos or videos. The need for Google to constantly re-jig perfectly satisfactory s/w is annoying.
Using a MacBook Pro and the latest version of Google Chrome, I can see the image/video you've put in post #32, but not those after it. I agree that these things are a ball ache.
Marco.
I am convinced it is shite.
Anyway, after a further 10 minutes playing with it in anger, I think I have sussed it. Here is the Nagra pic, can't be arsed with the Chord one, but if you sift, it is there in the album. The video should now work. Also, if you navigate to the 1st post's picture link, you'll now get small and bigger, better versions. That means there's 302 to sift through instead of 151, but hey.

If am I wrong well I gave it as much effort as I am prepared to commit tonight:)
Yeah, the vid's working now, dude. Nice one :)
However, I'm still not getting the images included in your posts #34 and #36...
Marco.
One more thing I wanted to say about the Devialet - if you treat the Phantom as a pleasant sounding lifestyle product, I think you are probably looking at it in the right way. Expecting audiophile performance from it is pushing the bounds of reasonable expectation.
Yeah, the vid's working now, dude. Nice one :)
However, I'm still not getting the images included in your posts #34 and #36...
Marco.
I wasn't expecting you to. Can you see the image in post #43? And how about the first post - small and big if you follow the link as per what I said in post #43?
Yup, I can see the image in post #43. Nice Nagra :)
Dunno what you mean by 'the first post'... There are no images on this thread I can see until the third post (#3), on page 1.
Marco.
Well post #2 to be accurate....
This thread is basically a bit shit. I mean that in the lightest possible way, but really it ain't great...;):lol:
Teacher says D-. If you are going to make things public without making sure they are fine first, don't bother.
Lol. There is no image as such in post #2 (certainly that I can see), only a link to your pics. See below for how it should be done, arf! Courtesy of Mark (YNWaN):

Dalek Supreme - feel free to use any pics as per previous years.

Marco.
Go back and look at my Munich 2014 stuff. That is a lot better, though I spread it across 2 sites.
Anyway, though I won't look now, and TBH you haven't really absorbed what I have said, though I don't mind, I am sure anyone prepared to commit some effort can do way better than this.
That said, it'd be a joke to say the show was great. It just wasn't. Defo more effort required there, which is where it really counts.
Anyway. Mr Lydon's latest effort is pounding away, and on some tracks, just sounding great:)
Nice one - glad things are sounding good. Btw, don't think that your photographic efforts of the shows aren't appreciated. Because they are - very much! :)

Actually I don't know whether the zoom facility is working in your browser, Marco, when flicking through in gallery mode, but for the first time the images I have posted are getting close online to that I have here "ish". Now that is good.
I have actually said pretty much everything I wanted to say anyway. There was very little else that I felt was really worth much of a mention. Though again don't get me wrong I'm sure there was plenty of stuff there that is more than worthy in the right context.
