hello dear friends,
i have joined only today and would be glad to receive and share notes on our common hobby i.e hi fidelity sound and video. i am basically a mech. engr in industrial marketing with wide interests in music, movies, technology, trekking, astronomy and cookery!! oops, thats a mouthful! to be frank, i was looking for a forum to share and discuss and benefit from the hi-fi technology available in our country. with a busy work and family life, frankly i admit, i don't have state-of-art equipment as i enjoy and believe also in saving cash by doing some "jugaad" or other afterall you must enjoy your music and video to the fullest possible in minimum possible budget-of course, in many areas, you cannot always save and have to get the best, but not always.
I have a P4 pentium desktop with 19" LCD, Aiwa 2 channel old stereo(looking to dispose and upgrade), 29"samsung DNIE flat CRT with tata sky connection and collection of favorite DVDs etc.
Do keep me in your group and support with your ideas.

First a warm welcome to Anand and Pradeep.

Now a little digression. AFJ, I think I am going to enjoy berating you to start listening to and enjoying some multi channel music. What say?

Cheers

Welcome vianand & pradeep-ivon.

afj - I guess I am a stereo and a 5.1 guy then since I have both setup separately for music and movies.

perhaps i will drop in to your place one day and listen to your system and be convinced. am sure that albums made in the 7.1 format sounds better - but does a normal cd recorded in stereo sound that much better?

my theory is that you get much better quality of music from a 2 channel than a 5.1 channel with your budget being a constant

You are Welcome any time. No, I was specifically talking about audio recorded in multichannel such as DVD-A, and hopefully BD Discs.

Redbook CD is best heard and enjoyed in a 2 channel system.
