Guys,

Need to buy a HTS, budget is INR One lakh excluding TV and DVD/blueray. Brand no bar.movies and music both, but a tilt towards movie watching, should not be very bulky, i have 3 days to finish my shopping, should be exceptional value too.

Got my Sennheiser HD 25-1 II headphones that I bought from ebay. Sounds absolutely amazing. Dont know if there's any "burn in" time needed for HP but I'm hoping it'll get even better with use.:yahoo:

Hi All,
Got myself an Asus O!Play HDP R1 from eBay.in for Rs 4999/-. Good thing is that I applied a gift voucher code (got it from Coupon codes and discounts for 65,000 online stores! RetailMeNot.com) while doing the online purchase and got a Plantronic Bluetooth handsfree as a gift. So, all in all I am a satisfied customer.
As of now I am have tried connecting my WD external drive and my pendrive. Both are working without a glitch. Not experimented much with different file formats but the player is playing the Flacs gloriously and that too without switching on the display. I am loving it :yahoo:
Cheers!

Hi recently purchased the Chord Carnival SilverScreen Cable from HiFi Mart.
Chord Carnival SilverScreen Speaker Cable
I must say that the sound has now become so much fuller. The treble levels have also increased. I am very happy with the purchase. Earlier I was using QED micro cable. Good difference!!

[reju]

1 HDMI Cable, BJC Series-FE 28 AWG Belden Bonded-Pair with Ethernet, 5 foot, Black ($16.75)
1 Belden 1694A Coaxial Digital Audio Cable, 2 foot, RCA/RCA, Black ($15.50)
1 BJC LC-1 Six-Channel Audio Cables, 2 foot, Black ($86.75)
1 BJC LC-1 Subwoofer Cable, 5 foot, White ($18.25)
1 One-foot Subwoofer Y cable, 1F/2M RCA ($10.00)
Shipping Method:FedEx International Priority
Shipping $20.95
Sales Tax $21.03 (Customs duties)
Total $189.23

They recommend to opt for Fedex and even I suggest the same as the customs duties that they levy are very reasonable. Other shipping options like priority international mail does not include customs.
FYI I had checked with Fedex and the customs duties applicable for my shipment was INR 1606.00. This will be billed to BJC. No extra charges for me.

Quality is awesome!

Western Digital 2 TB caviar green Internal 3.5 Inches HDD
Price Rs 4900
Bought in Vashi
It is for Xtreamer
Avoided Segate as heard a lot of complaints

Also it was last minute purchase ,not able to go to Lam.Road .It was Sunday Eve rate so I am feeling that got Rs 100-300 more than Lam RD

Thanks to Dr Spiro for telephonic consultancy and Denom for telling about this location ,although Denoms suggested Sunrise computer did not have stock of Segate
