Any analog audio gentry in Pune, Mumbai and Delhi up for some listening together?

[shaizada]

I have an upcoming business trip tentatively from August 9th through August 30th. I was wondering if I would be able to meet some vinyl enthusiasts or audiophiles in general. Would love to meet you and share some listening time!

I am planning to take a small 1 week vacation from work after the 30th of August to visit Delhi. Would love to meet people and listen to some systems, possibly share some vinyl tips, experiences etc.

I might be able to sneak out to Mumbai in the weekend from Pune as well. Let's talk if you are interested

Hello Shaizada,

Would love to meet you in Delhi. Hope you can make it here.

We were in your part of the world recently, visiting our son in Sunnyvale, California. However, this time we ventured north instead - to the great Olympic National Forest, for a few evenings of isolation in wilderness. It does help to take your mind off audio sometimes! So, sorry, couldn't meet you.

Regards,
Viren

Oh My gosh Viren Ji! You were so close to me...it would have been such a fantastic experience if we had gotten a chance to meet again.

Regardless, I am very glad you got a break and enjoyed some of the beautiful things life has for us through nature. I will DEFINITELY meet as I am planning a Delhi leg of my trip. Will take a few days off and visit Delhi. I will surely keep you posted.

Shoot me an email if you're going to be in Bombay! Although I am in Europe from 19-26th

i love to be a part of any session in mumbai. you are welcome at my residence too...but mine is a humble setup.

 

[malvai]

Shaizada, dude, look me up when in Delhi... be good to have u over.

 

[heliumflight]

Mr. Vij, you call me when in town or no exit.

 

[shaizada]

Sounds good Guys! If possible, can you please message me your phone numbers and or contact info. I'll try and give you folks a call and set something up. Would be a pleasure to listen to some music with you guys!

 

[omishra]

You are welcome. I invite you at my place for tea.

For audition, I have only small and all DIY setup (may be costing less than your one of the IC cable ). That too w/o any proper seating arrangement (its in bedroom, I listen while sleeping). So analysis of sound stage etc is not possible though music could be listened.

I have :

• Technics SL 1200 MII ( DIY modded: tonearm damped & rewired) sitting Flexi rack,
• all starter carts like M97xe, Denon DL-110 (can arrange DL 103),
• DIY Pearl 2 phono,
• DIY Pass B1 with LDR volume control (double Buffer - before and after volume control),
• DIY Pass F5 turbo V2,
• DIY GR Research Bookshelf X-LS Encore placed over Sound Foundation stand.
• AudioQuest Shielded Interconnect and Chord Carnival Classic Speaker cable.

Sitting on bed allowed hyeah:
I can request Swapnil (svaze) and Sandeep (sann) to accompany, if their time permits.

Does that interests you? sending PM..

I would LOVE to hear your setup! Thank you so much for inviting me...I will definitely love to visit you and have chai in the baarish walaa mausam there.

Talk to you soon.

Thanks Sumant. Expect a call from me when I get to Delhi.

Finally!

It has taken me some time but finally tickets are booked. Coming to Delhi with the whole family for 2.5 weeks or so. Leaving Los Angeles on Feb 16th. First time to India for my 3 year old daughter so VERY EXCITED!

Delhi Audiophiles, I'll be in Gurgaon so if anyone is interested in some listening sessions do reach out. I'd love to hear some systems, share hifi stories...maybe do some system tuning. If anyone needs some help with their vinyl setups, I can try and help out.

I'll have limited time to do this "tufri", but lets plan something and we can make it happen.
I'm not sure about our car situation there, but this MIGHT mean you have to pick me up / drop me off etc.

I'm just excited about the Delhi Audio scene as it was non existent when our family moved in 1996.

Can't wait to see Viren ji and Kamal ji as well...it is a trip long overdue.

 

[shaizada]

Ok, instead of Gurgaon, I'll be in Patel Nagar now

 

[viren bakhshi]

Hello Shaizada,

Good to hear - seems we will see you in Delhi this time!

You'll probably be shocked by traffic here - Patel Nagar, for me, is more accessible; Gurgaon is literally going to another state.

Viren ji...thanks so much for replying! I am thinking of sticking with Patel Nagar. My Mama ji lives there. I am DEFINITELY meeting you no matter what.

Please have the system ready if possible. I'm dying to hear your large horn speakers...the Horn Grande

I've been waiting for the opportunity to hear your works of art (which they are in my eyes).

Indore will be very difficult buddy...not this trip for sure because I'm coming with the whole family this time. But possibly some other time when I come by myself. Thanks so much for the invite!

 

[hildebrand]

Its a pity you're not coming to Bangalore else could have met you. Perhaps in your next trip
Indori food is really martian
