This is not fair...not fair....:sad::sad:I would not be here, all big guns coming and I wount be able to invite them at my house....not fair :sad: :sad: :sad:
Sam,can you not try to make it?
E.g, HifiAshok juggled around his trip out of town & will be arriving back on the 24th FN, so as to ensure that he does not miss out.
Do try, friend.
Else, since there are a no. of other people also who would be out of town on Sunday, I'm sure another trip to Dr Sa'ab will happen.
Regards,
Kamal

Believe me I would have dropped everything for this meet, but its a family issue, which can not be avoided. Even ashish would be missing. I was hoping it would be postponed just week more week. Anyway as you said, looking forward to that another trip to Dr Sa'ad

First let me thank Dr. Garg for extending such a warm hospitality... and the snacks by Madam was really a treat! Alas! 3 hours vanished in thin air and I said to myself Im not going anywhere as this was no ordinary event.....
We patients of music gathered to Dr. Garg's house to get our aliment cured. The doc looked into our eyes and gauged our pulse and said come'on boys to my top floor where he had an array of equipments from Nuforce Musical Fidelity amp (275wrms), 2 pairs Rogers BBC monitors, upsampler DAC, DAC, 2 pairs Quads electrostatic speakers ESL63 & ESL989, Meltron TT, 2 pairs Yamaha studio NS1000 monitors. Quad2 monoblock power amps. Then the Doc said this is nothing come down stairs and I said that I want to understand which equipment goes with which combination. He said this is only the beginning. And little did we know behold (pic will be uploaded so u could relate to our experience)
It was really great to interact with HFV people in person. Excellent learning and sharing along the way. Energetic Kamalji, humble Virenji, Venuji- the engineer, Hifiashok, VJ@hifi for navigating, Dilli@hifi
Got some rich info from Dr. Garg about Power amplifier booster amplifier
Thanks for the rectifier and Y jack Virenji.
Also Kamalji for his efforts in synch with fellow audiophile who have made this a moment to cherish...
The gods werent smiling cause the power was erratic and every time it went away we went to replenish with snacks. What actually went on I'll let our fellow HFV members post their own impression of the music.
Next time I will surely go again to listen to the iconic Quads as I was informed it needs to be charged 2 hours in advance, else will sound dry.

Well the call goes to Kamalji and VJ HIFI to upload the pics.
MINDBLOWING, thats what we felt entering into his treasure trove. There seemed more equipment stacked around than what all of pooled together had. Very expensive hobby but the Doc Saab for collecting lots of equipment and mind you the music he had collected probably numbs the mind thinking about it.
You name it he had it. Starting from the LP records I think he had original pressings of thousands of albums, Spool tapes, some hundreds of CDs. Well the pics will speak for themshelves. Worth the effort of making it there but with the erratic power listening the Quad ESLs remained a dream which we hope will soon come true.
Thanks

Issh.. I missed the opportunity. If it happens next time, I will definitely try my best to attend.
Anyway, testing my patience to see the photographs of the meet, specially the equipments.
Kamal, as usual your coordination is sought for posting the photographs ASAP.

Would beg for a little more patience, guys.
I had written down the description of some of the eqpt in Dr Sa'abs listening room But got abs blown away when we entered the room housing his main coolection.Just kept madly clicking away w/o taking the time to ask for & write down descriptions...
So, the next day I mailed Dr Sanjeev all the snaps with a request to mail them back to me with the labels.
Soon's I get them I'll post them up for the enjoyment of friends here.

Dr. saab stays at a museum of sorts. Pleasantly amazed.
Just wish these jewels could be dusted off though for they all exude his love for music and collection.
humble regards to the veteran
