Audio Enthusiast Meet

Hi fellow forum members,

Have you ever wondered how a system costing Rs 100k, 200k, 500k or 800k sounds? Have you ever wondered how equipments other than yours sound. Or how justified is your spending? Whether it is possible to better what you have for lesser price. Or if there are ways to gain a lot by spending a little extra?

Problems are many fold in our coutry, to offer opportunities to seek the answers to above. All cities don't have enough dealership, all products not available in all cities, most dealers only offer certain brands, making auditioning equipments an extremely difficult chore.

What is the solution. How do we get to know more about our passion - hi-fi?

Since the hi-fi market in India is not mature enough I have always wondered if we could do something to make this possible. And I do have an idea. A meet of local audio enthusiasts or audiophiles.

This thought has crossed my mind more than once, can we do something like this? I see that this forum has enough members (and more importantly some very serious and passionate members) to start with such an initiative. So, today I am coming up with a proposal to all of you.

How about an Audiophile meet?

We can begin with Delhi and our fellows in other cities would carry the tradition forward. What do you think? Let your ideas pour!

With warm regards,

Ranjeet Rain

Good idea, Ranjeet!
Would love to meet Audio Enthusiasts in Delhi.
Plz set the date/time/venue.

Sure Kamal. Let us wait for more of our colleagues to come along. Once we have the mass, we will take off.

Hi guys!

Great Idea... been thinking on the same lines for some time too.... count me in!

We can surely do with a spy in the gang (with a binocular and a high-res digital camera). Makes us three!

Hmmm, either there are very few members from Delhi/NCR or not many are interested.

Anyway since we are 3 in all, so far, why not we take turns to visit each other personally. I am open to welcome you on a pleasant Sunday at my house. And then one by one.

Though I must add that I was hoping for a better turn out

Great idea Ranjee , but oppssssssssssss i am not from delhi .

Thanks for the support. I must say I had much bigger plans

Anyway, if you guys can organize something like this even in Mumbai/Bangalore I might just fly down

How about such a meet in Mumbai/Bangalore? It seems majority of members on this forum are from Mumabi/Blore?

Hey! Ranjeet.
I’m up for a mumbai event.

In my other hometown Surat I’m a member of one such group. Wherein we have a group of some 30 music lovers, we have 15 meets a year i.e every 3 weeks, we meet Sunday afternoon for arnd 3 hrs at one of the members place & enjoy listening & discussing diff kinds of music.

I guess for your idea to be fruitful there has to be such clubs in various cities, who in turn can may decide to meet or host such an event. It can start with one or two such events at one location of the country.

Even our club in surat took about 4-5 mnths to arrange it’s first meet.


May be it can atleast begin with exchange of ideas on this front.

All the best.Cheers
