Very true. My colleague from the UK brought a container of stuff and the customs guy charged her Rs 2000/- (yes, two thousand for a container!) because he is Jewish like her. What a coincidence! How many Jewish customs agents do you think are there in India?
I wish there was a more standardized procedure to all this. Sorry, this thread is getting derailed.

Can you point me to that lady or the customs agent please? I asked my father right now and he said we could be Jewish as our forefathers since we are direct descendents of Adam and Eve.... Please also let me know which port does the Jewish agent work out of.... Would be great adding a new member to our family and hopefully he/she could help me out with some imports as well .....

That's stretching the seven degrees of separation a bit too thin:lol:

I am planning to get adopted by Jobs, that would make me a Jew too.
One thing that is making m love the Accuphase E460 amp more and more is the fact that it is soooooo soooooo good for the vinyl rig... the sound is so palpable and rich that it is amazing...
i feel that when an amp is new, everything seems nice... its only when one lives with it, that the true picture emerges.... well, having said that, its been 3 weeks since i introduced the amp into the chain... that too a well tuned chain... and I have nothing to complain about!
now, anyone who knows me personally, knows that I am extremely anal about the sound and for me Vinyl takes prime focus... if the electronics fail with the vinyl, then it a deal breaker. The Accuphase E460 is a thoroughbred in all aspects! It is sublime when paired with my vinyl rig! (Btw, it does digital just as nicely too!)

panditji, let's try to make it together to gurgaon to Manav's place
The set up has now been run in for over 70 hours... and i must say that the amp has shown a very subtle improvement... i wouldn't say that it is a day / night change, bit yes it is kind of like an early evening / late evening kind of difference.
Specifically the HF's seem even more refined. the mid-range sounds a bit more... ummm.... for the lack of a better word ~ juicy!
The LF is more taut. now, the amp is ready for some really serious listening sessions!
Next up, I have a 3 fold task:
1. Get my reference cartridge back on... it'll take 3-5 more weeks to return from a re-tip from sound-smiths...
2. nail the room treatment once and for all... just very tiny little touches that will improve the sound. I believe that over treating a room is worse that leaving the room untreated!
I actually have heard a grossly over treated room... it was as if the multi-million dollar set up was comletely devoid of HF's and a soul!
3. The last thing on the list is to get the AD 20 Phono Board and the DAC 30 dac board... this will take care of the digital media : both cd & computer

malvai, sound like a great plan. Sorry for not showing up as yet.
The last month or so has been blissful. I have never been so satisfied after an audio purchase, as i have been with this amp!
This time around, I am satisfied. The overall sound is blissful!
I just need to get back my Clearaudio Concerto back (from its re-tip) into the mix and the analogue rig will sound heavenly!
The CDP is as good as it can get on the budget that I set up for it many years ago! (This is only piece of equipment that has not been upgraded in the last 4 years!!!)
the AD 20 and the DAC 30 will come in by and by, as I save up the spare change. Then I put the brakes on the spending!
