Post your latest AV purchase(s)......

congratulations kapvin.... good to see the Spring sees the light of day :)

Thanks mpw. Custom rule changed twice in the period from order to delivery. It is increasingly difficult to do personal imports. Was not much fun. but Customs folks were very nice in the end, acche din seem to manifest themselves at the most unusual of times.

The hidden gem, though, is my headphone amp, the SPL phonitor. I have the phonitor E, and it is spectacular. and available right here in India with Indian bill and warranty. other phonitor models are also available.

best wishes

Hi guys , Added the TRANSPARENT AUDIO POWER ISOLATORS MM2'S to my stereo chain and also replaced all power cords to AUDIO REFERENCE POWER CORDS. It has elevated the listening experience to another level :-). Currently soaking in the musical manna and enjoying it every bit. Really loving it :-)
Cheers!

Looks like an awesome system... very carefully curated.

One question though, why 2 cd transports when most are down to none?

happy listening
 
Thank you for your kind words kapvin, the msb transport is the more recent one. The electrocompaniet is being taken by a friend of mine. So technically it's not a part of the system anymore
 
A pair of Q Acoustic concept 20 and a S.M.S.L. Ad-18. (In a temporary set up here will post pictures once its set up properly, couldn't wait to listen to them) (Also the poor jbl flip 4 in the back ground is also new and will find its place in the shower :-D)

10k (Rs 1200 customs included) not a bad deal IMHO.

Got RP1 delivered as well, playing the ARR vinyl, Rega distributer helped me to set it up in less than 10min. Very clean vocals, non tiring smooth sound is very likeable. So far so good. Let's see.

Absolutely not a bad price. That is what I paid for mine (bought in Germany)

How is the TT now. Can you Pm me the details (dealer, price you got, etc). Thanks in advance. :)

Congratulations. Heard them recently when I was looking for a pair. They are pretty good. What have you paired them with? Enjoy.

Finally got my desk sorted. Here is a picture with the Concept 20s in place.

Check Pm, TT is settled now, pretty melodic with adequate details, non fatiguing sound which I was looking for. I mainly listen to the oldies on TT so its good. Will get a Technics SL TT as one of my friend is coming from UK next month.

I returned the SMSL AD18 amp for a refund. Bought a hivi power amp at 5k & a tube buffer for 3k which is pretty Good for the price point. They can knock down any branded budget Stereo amp as far as the performance is concerned. A detailed review will follow soon, once I find time.

Thank you so much. I am also trying to get an Audio technica from japan as my brother is coming back later this year. Although getting two tts would be a pain for him as he is getting one for himself as well. If that's the case i shall buy one here.

Which tube buffer did you get? I am pretty happy with the ad18, although I wish they had retained the sub out from the q5 but well they didn't.
