Thank you. Right now it’s connected via BT to Pixel 6A. I don’t have anything else for now.
Thank you. Will share soon.
I am not a audiophile. I just enjoy good music. First impression was just "wow". Words were so clear and could get the feeling of different instruments clearly separated and voice coming exactly from the center.
Feel that treble is bit high and I had to turn it down a bit.
I heard few test tracks (Rock, pop, hindi, Kannada) and Vishnu Sahasranaama as well. Worked well for me in every genre. Like it.

Good day,
I have recently purchased a Marantz CD player from AVShack.in. However its almost 40 days and the shipment has not arrived. They keep on telling different excuses. Please guide if they are legitimate vendors. I think somehow,I have been cheated.
Does anyone have any experience with them and how to resolve this issue.
The reasons they give is very quite unreasonable. Not sure what to do now.
Thanks -

Yes, not an AV purchase but still posting it here because I think, this is the heart of my digital boxes that are all powered up by linear power supplies from Sean Jacobs. I am not posting it here just to share what I bought but more for how it changed the music playback. Clearly reveals how bad power supplies, especially the SMPSs, suck emotions out of music.

Hello ,
To update , I contacted my bank and also the payment gateway regarding the issue. The vendor Avshack.in kept on giving multiple excuses. Luckily the payment gateway assisted me and was able to secure full refund from the vendor.

Bought XTZ S2 Atmos speakers (and mount kits) for front height placement in my set up -
A pair of gloves in box for handling speaker!
In case someone wants to place speakers on top of existing speakers, they provided plates to attach
Speakers and grill! Note that speakers are not even shaped and hardly has any parallel sides
Magnetic grills
Speaker!
Mounting possible only using the compatible flushmount kit
And this how it look mounted over wall
My cinema setup is now complete (Sub in picture - Rythmik L12. Not in picture - A pair of Q Acoustics 7000i serving as Top middle speakers)

After 6 years of looking out in the used market forums round the world finally snagged my dream preamp from Singapore : The Shindo Vosne Romanee preamp.

Getting it from Singapore to Goa was a long story in itself and was a 2 month drama with twists and turns in the plot. But it’s finally here and working.
And the sound?
All I can say is Holy Shindo! Now I know why shindo-ism is a cult in the audio world.

If you've followed their story here and elsewhere, you probably know that Tokyo's Shindo Laboratory (footnote 1) has a reputation for defying the two most monolithic of all high-end audio commandments.

Hi Amrut,
I was using DD Power Amp from Aniket along with Acoustic Portrait Swara Preamp and Acoustic Portrait streamer connected to Indiq Audio Universal Mishra speakers.
DD Power Amp was giving me issues from the beginning (2020- I got the amp) and since then it was on continuous repair mode. If I have to write about the whole story it will become another "complaint" post, which I don't want to.
Because of the power amp issues, one of my Indiq Audio xover board has gone and Amit has helped and rectified the issue very promptly. (Customer service- I think all should learn from him- 5 Stars).
During this time I thought of buying an amp as DD amp was with Aniket and it was taking endlessly to rectify the issue.
I already have Audiolab 8000A Power Pre combo- but because of the age of the amp, it is not performing well. Since I am familiar with Audiolab sound signature, I ended up in Audiolab 6000A. (During this time I also demoed Rethm Aarka and I wanted to buy it, but home dept. didn't approve the budget and so I was left with Audiolab as an option).
When I bought Audiolab, a desire for a new speaker came. And wherever I search I was getting Audiolab + W Linton as a good combo.
I started pressurizing the home ministry and as I told them that this is my final set up, got approval for W Lintons.
After that, I bought an MI Box 4k and was using it as my source, as I wanted to use Audiolab's Dac as it is better than AP streamer DAC.
And finally I bought WiiM Mini and it has brought in very good changes to the system, the sound has opened up very much.
Now since, the entire system has changed, the sound signature has also changed. I like the combo very much.
Thanks,
Sreejith
