<<The Devialet Workshops will be held at intervals during the day and a full list of times will be advertised in the near future>>

Just want to time my visit appropriately,

Thanks Gavin, I'll be sure to introduce myself.

We have just been informed that Thierry Massoubre will be attending from Devialet. The clinics will be held at intervals during the day. This will be dependant on footfall, so I'm afraid we cannot be specific with times. To enable us to cover all of your questions during these sessions the topics will obviously differ slightly, so it would be appreciated if you could let us know when you arrive, anything in specific you would like covered.

Regards
Gavin

Many thanks to all involved with organising the event. It's always good to have an opportunity to talk to anyone from Devialet, plus I can only imagine how much effort is involved transporting and setting up the systems.

I was however slightly alarmed to discover that it appears I can hear clear differences between digital cables..... This was just earwiging someone else's demo. I am now trying to convince myself that this didn't happen, maybe slightly higher volume used for the "better" sounding cable? I don't think so though, full of surprises though this hi fi business.

I'd like to add my thanks to Gavin, Trevor, Thierry and everyone else involved. A great opportunity to learn more about the Devialet family and to meet some fellow enthusiasts. I really enjoyed the friendly, informal atmosphere.

Hearing the tiny Harbeth P3s driven by a 200 put a smile on my face!

@Confused - the peril is not yet averted...

It would be great if this could be done in symbiosis with the Devialet reps explaining the different and best ways to connect to a Devialet.

I was discussing options for "non computer" front ends with Thierry today. He mentioned that it might be worth waiting until next year as Devailet are working on something. Very intriguing!

I can only echo what others said Gavin & Trevor hosted an excellent event & it was interesting to talk to Thierry though in true Devailet form they and continuing to make life 'interesting' for anyone hoping to develop any control solutions for the Devailet range.

Still, I have ideas,

A very pleasant afternoon spent on Saturday with the folks from Guildford Audio and Absolute Sounds, Thierry from Devialet and thumb5, IanG-UK and brit.

A big thanks to Trevor and Gavin for putting this on.

Some great sounds although I must admit I spent more time chatting in the corridors and in the hotel lobby than sitting in the listening rooms. With that said I loved the sound of the 800 and Wilson Sasha 2s, very similar to my setup except with Transparent XL speaker cables and a lovely looking Metronome transport. Might have to try one of these sometime in my own setup just to compare to streaming. Good to see some Entreq ground boxes in the mix too...
