Stories for a reason are called as stories. The aradhna story is one such. Music is not just about music director only. Listen to this from someome who had first hand experience with both.

I am not taking anything away from stalwarts like S.D. Burman. The story was linked for Father's compliment to his son. The Author has also published book on S.D.Burman.
Interesting tip for Audiophiles at around 8:00 in the video.

In this case, it’s like comparing the other Sachin-Rahul duo, 25 years later in a different field. Although I’d say they mapped with the former pair opposite to their namesakes. Classic Sachin and brilliant Rahul gave way to Classic Rahul and brilliant Sachin.

I like Dravid. Sachin too. But only some of his innings and beginning part of his career. I remember a South Africa One day Match we were chasing some hugh total and SA crowd was so confident and making so much noise and sachin came to bat and in first few overs showed his brilliance. The crowd was spooked and went totally silent. Though we lost the match. But Sachin was fantastic. One of those matches where winning doesn't matter.

Am thinking of introducing a Thoren's TT in the chain soon. Have tried basic Philips 242 type TT. Direct drives are my favs

Thanks,

Dear All,

Am starting a thread on bollywood oldies at Music section with trivia, anecdotes, vinyl, Audio CD cover and many other stuff. Please join over there. I have collected most of the released audio media of R.D. Burman. Shall add the specialty of those also. The thread is open to post any music related to bollywood oldies till late 80s

Sorry for offtopic sourvain. Also is that your kid in the picture and is he fan of Kishoreda ? I would be glad if he is. Nice to see future generation like old music
Regards

He is my son Soham and likes Kishore da and Pancham da. This liking is not forced and I'm sure the legacy will be carried forward by him.

Hi souravin

That is one absolutely lovely room and setup you have there. Stonkingly beautiful. And your wife and son contributing to the same is the icing on the cake. My folks are just waiting to kill me

Anyways lovely room and setup. Pleas enjoy your music. Kishore Kumar and mohd rafi are my all time favourites

Dear friends,

Added another beauty to my audio chain. B&W DM 602S2. A complete different sound signature compared to my earlier EPOS BS. Unable to comment whether this is an improvement, but it's definitely a change. With bigger aesthetics and powered by DD Power amp 120W build by Sachin and Aniket, it's easily being driven. Am just awaiting to give more critical listen and get back. Lata Mangeshkar's high pitch is sounding very smooth. Am loving it

Where did the AU 717 go ?

 

[shuv]

Sourav da, are you planning to get rid of the Epos?

 

[souravin]

Sourav da, are you planning to get rid of the Epos?

Nooooooo. It's such a lovely BS. Suggested by @bhaskarcan . Thank you Bhaskar Roy

Thanks,

It is there being used as integrated and sometimes with tube pre-amp

Thanks,
Sourav

 

[souravin]

Latest addition to my audio family Sugden A48, A pure vintage amplifier. Tube like sound from early 1970's. Am just loving it

 

[souravin]

My foray into Class A, embracing Nelson Pass F5. Wooaa, my quest for amplifier ends here. This is a pure bliss. Thank you @bhaskarcan (Bhaskar Roy ) for everything. Your absolute brilliance and craftsmanship made this happen.

My ECC 83/ 12AX7 based Pre is feeding F5
