Thanks to the bubbling enthusiasm of all the C-HFV members, we had a great time and the first meet was in my mind a resounding success. Here is the summary
Location: Ignite garage, ECR
Time: 4 pm to 5 pm (planned) 4.15 pm to 7.30 pm (actual)
Agenda1: Introduction
Well what we thought would be 10 mins affair in fact went to 30+ mins with each of us giving a nice background information about themselves. We had a bunch with varying profiles, from doctors to IT guys, Captains to Bank Security Manager, Entrepreneurs to Event Management guys, and off course Lawayers

If I have missed anyone, pls ping me, I will add (sorry for the inconvenience). I will post pics with names in the next thread
Agenda 2: Understanding impact of electricity on equipments
We discussed in detail, so for the benefit of the people who didnt attend, for us, there are 3 different stabilizers which comes into picture:
CVT: Constant voltage stabilizer. This gives a constant voltage of says 220V for a given input ranging from 170 to 270v. These type of stabs dont have any moving part and is available only upto 1 KVa. Howvere, Venkat pointed out that these do not create pure current so not advisable for musical equipments.
Servo stabs: Servo stabs are bigger in size and they include a transformer. They are mechincal in nature and the provide clean current unlike CVT. Servo also provide a constant 220V of clean current for an input ranging between 170 to 280 and they cut off anything above or below that range. These are best advised for audio and visual equipments. For 1 KVA the cost ranges from 4k+ depending on the specification you want. The advantages of them are:
Clean current thereby increasing life of the equipments
Constant voltage thereby improving performance of equipment (proper bass, good PQ in plasmas)
Reduction in current, in a basic calculation we did on the fly, for nominal 1 KVA servo, we will be able to save upto 10 to 15 units a month
Automatic Stabilizers: These are basically what we buy for individual equipments. Instead, we go for one stabilizer for each phase in our house and forget buying for each equipment. The capacity of the stab for each phase will be determined based on your needs. They range from 5 to 20+ KVa and costs from 3k+. These stabs, unlike a constant voltage, one will ensure current supply is always between 210 to 240 depending on the input. They do cut off if its below 170 or above 280. These are advisable for household appliances.
We can discuss more details in the thread.
The company that did the KT session was Alpha Power corp Alpha Power Corporation you can contact Mr.Gopal - Vice President at 9840820316
Agenda 3: Good Music System presentation by VenkatCR
This was an awesome presentation by our C-HFV guru VenkatCR. It covered the basics of music system with content ranging from budget to various systems, what is frequency to speaker placements. It was really an enlightening presentation and in typical Venkat style, comprehensive but no boring, articulated details without being overly confusing, practical tips with clear bombardment of misconceptions.
A big thanks to Venkat and Sri for the projector.
Agenda 4: Next session
The various plans for next session was discussed, will open a new thread for this. We are planning to have the next session at Decobels so that we can have a proper demo session listening to various CDs, frequencies, systems and so on. Venkat will talk to Decibels about it and we will finalize. The tentative date is Mid Jan.
Finally, a BIG THANKS to Flanker for opening up Ignite for our use and Sound_Advice for the Hot Samosa sponsorship
Update Dec 11: Pricing of servos is discussed in http://www.hifivision.com/audio-vid...ers-cvt-servo-avt-price-thread.html#post94523
