PSB image B6 also is a good speaker.

Anyone interested in portable/mobile audio?

I am really interested in listening to one of the Cowon audio player. So if anyone has one and could bring it along, i will be most grateful

I can bring my Grado SR60 headphones if anyone is interested.

Well so far there is hardly any active response for HT.Few members are keen,but not more than 30% of time.Let us see few more days OR will focus on 2 ch only.

regarding food - if our meet is at the club house, we can order food from Burgs Burgs - Gourmet Foods, Hadapsar, Pune | Zomato or Arthurs Theme Arthur's Theme, Koregaon Park, Pune | Zomato.

Ok, in that case we focus on Stereo set-up. There might be 5.1 option available but not confirmed as yet. Will try my best to arrange 1

Hi Mubeen,
I believe your are using Squeezebox as a source presently. Can you get it? I would like to hear how they sound with your setup and with "matching amp" (costwise... ) I think your Electrocompaniet's weep in memory of Benchmark DAC every time you play Squeezebox thru them :lol:

I think a Squeezebox demo would expose others to it's potential as a source, at that price-point. It may be what entry level buyers are looking for.

Regds,
Sonosphere

Any where near to Viki's place would be most ideal, as we will order take away & that food should reach us on time while still being appreciably hot

And lets not forget the 2 big boys from Bombay Hemant Bhau and your ability to decimate food by the truckloads. hyeah:

 

[samirk]

This time you just watch us do the "demo'lition business whilst you remain on a 'diet' :lol:

Pls do bring it! Since its on sale, you might find a prospective buyer amongst the FM's attending or otherwise due thanks to their write up post meet on the forum (sincerely hope so on your behalf)

It will be gr8 to compare this one with Caiman,xonar & other DACs.

+ 1 :thumbsup: Though not in same price range

 

[Santy]

I honestly feel that 30+ is too big a crowd for Viki's home. The living room can accommodate upto 20 people comfortably, according to me. May be if all furniture are removed, there could be more breathing space. We can sit on the floor and enjoy. What you say Viki and FMs? I am not sure about the size of the club house which seems to be another option as per Viki.

 

[devesh]

You are welcome Devesh. And about the purchases we guys are always ready for some auditions and subsequent shopping for either our own gear or a fellow FM's. Do let us know what are you planning to buy and observe the gear at the meet to understand what suits you best.

 

[devesh]

Not able to update sheet, getting some error msg in dutch :-(, find the translated error "The data range you are trying to stick covers protected cells. Paste the data to another location or request the owner of the spreadsheet to remove the protection."

 

[askii2]

BTW how to find out Vikis place?

We'll send out a private email to planned attendees providing detailed driving directions. Can't be posted here.
