[GeorgeO]

Very well summarized Santhosh.

Now for some good news- I have got my solid state power amp as well as two preamps up and running, so during the course of the audition should people be interested and time permitting, we can easily do some A/B listening. The bad news is that my DAC seems to have some issue, and while I am trying to get it fixed, I'm not sure if it will be ready by day after tomorrow.

Another piece of good news is that I have invited a guest to join us on Sunday morning. He is someone who has guided me throughout my diy journey, wired up my kits-two preamps, my AKSA power amp, my DAC, crossovers for my speakers, trouble shot my gear( and many friends equipment as well) whenever needed. His last project was a Bugle phono preamp that he assembled for a friend who has a colection of vinyl.


He is Philip Isaacs, and he, with his brother, run Lizzner Radio and Electronics located opposite Windsor Pub in Vasanthnagar. Philip is not only a solder ustaad with over 25 years of hands on experience in solid state and valve equipment, but he also has an array of testing equipment at his disposal, oscilloscopes, signal generator, variac, etc. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who wants to go the diy route.

Finally I havent seen any suggestions about the pups and samosas and soft drinks. If you guys want me to order, tell me what you want, otherwise I will shoo you guys all off around 1.30 and sit down with my wife for a nice lunch!

Cheers

George

25 years wow!. If he becomes a member of Hifivision I am sure he will be an asset to the forum.

Folks
Yes, Suri did indeed call me up. I believe that the only thing left to do is to pick a place for all of you folks to have lunch. I can suggest a wonderful place in Fraser town (primarily non-veg but has veg dishes too), its called Ritchies and is on MM Road. I would recommend the mutton biryani there as the speciality and the chicken kabobs. Its also about a km from this place to ARN temporary showroom. We are on 1/1 Promenade Road (last house on the right in front of the railway tracks), ground floor. Santosh hospital is the most prominent landmark on Promenade Road. In Fraser town, most people will know Santosh hospital, please ask for directions.
I have another engagement in the opposite side of town till afternoon which I cant get out of, which is why I can only probably do this at 4 pm. If we can do this earlier (say 3 or 3.30), I will give a call and let Suri know. Two good reference quality amps that we had are now sold and the customers are taking delivery tomorrow morning. This leaves only two SS amps with us right now, the Usher R1.5 amp and the Operetta. Both are decent performers but not at the league of the Symphonic Line RG-7 (which one lucky forum member now owns ). I would encourage all to hear what reference amps like an RG-7 are capable of

The Speakers on display will be the
Usher S520
Usher Be-718
Usher Mini-Dancer 1 (if desired)
Emerald Physics CS3 or CS2.3 (not sure as of now)

Ayon CD-1s - CDP
Shindo Aurigies-L, Leben RS-100 - preamps
Tube amps Leben CS-600


Obviously listening to all this will not be possible, we can pick 3 different speakers and a few tracks each. Suri, it would be nice if you can SMS me the number of people who are expected on Sun.

There is a small chance that I may be stuck at my prior engagement for much longer than expected. If, in the case it happens, while I will let Suri know beforehand, my apologies to forum members in advance, but the Sun demo may be off.

Hopefully I will see many of you there

cheers

Hi Suri, no, not at all. Just asking people not to have their hopes up high I will try to make it happen though.

thanks for coordinating this with others

cheers

I have now edited the title in my earlier post.

Ok guys i will give a presentation on "How to make silver diy interconnects". .

Time needed is 20 minutes , George/santosh is there projector available ?

Thanks Kaushik for the initiative, 20 minutes is not much. So, we'll try and slot your preso somewhere. Would add further value if you can show the materials required and also the finished product.

I am getting my Home Theater projector for tomorrow presentation(s). Can someone carry a long VGA cord please? I have two 10 meter ones but these have already been routed through conduits.

Thats a great idea George. It will be our pleasure to meet such a knowledgable and experienced hands on guy.

Finally I havent seen any suggestions about the pups and samosas and soft drinks. If you guys want me to order, tell me what you want, otherwise I will shoo you guys all off around 1.30 and sit down with my wife for a nice lunch!

As discussed today, you go ahead and order the Samosas etc from Cafe DCosta. I'll carry some soft drinks along in my Chiller box.

If anyone is backing off its better to inform the host as early as possible.


I want to be in ARN for the evening audition also so guys pls count me in for tht too.


I might leave after the session at George's place and join u back for the auditions at ARN if its happening(depending on Sridhars convenience).


SOS: If someone can pick me up from Frazer Town at arnd 10am it wud be helpful. I wud come all the way from koramangala and since nobody is coming from this side I can join one of you from Frazer Town.

 

[GeorgeO]

Ok Santhosh, have gone and ordered the samosas, and as an added bonus have got the better half to get mushrooms, zuchhini and some chicken ready for BBQ tomorrow. After all when we have guys coming in from long distances,the least we can do is to send them home after the session with their tails up, right?

My DAC is fixed,so that's a relief. I find that two systems in two rooms is a bit of an unexpected challenge since the sound from one easily reaches the other, so we may have to restrict ourselves to audible but low volumes, which for people like me who dont listen at ear bleed volume levels is not a problem. My basement is not isolated from the rest of the house, as you will see tomorrow.

Thank you Santhosh for the initiative in tying up all the loose ends.Hopefully tomorrow's meeting will be an interesting and entertaining session for all those who turn up.

Cheers guys and see you tomorow!

George
