ALERT! - Iaudio IN Chennai THIS weekend
- Thread starter suri
- Start date
Hi Capt,
Shah Electronics(MAXINE) should have transformers.
There is another shop(ground floor) in one of the complexes,second or third building after Shah, on the same side of the street as Shah, which also sells good quality transformers.
What are the specs,for the transformer?
If you can't find one in Ritchie St. to meet your specs,there is a company in Josier St near Childs Trust Hospital that will wind one for you to your specs.
Regards

I've lugged my camera and laptop with me. But I think most of members are free only on Sunday. Actually not yet breakfast. Will call Bala and start off with arrangements. As Thad said it would be great if we could all gather somewhere. But that would be too much trouble for one members residence!
I've checked there & the adjacent one that you mentioned 'Kasturi Electronics'. Both sell industrial capacitors. I've come to know of one SV Tronics in Kotturpuram who reportedly supply audiophile grade torodials.
Thanks for the info. Will check up that option as well.
Why dont you get Trannies from Miracle? They seem to have a good reputation.

Hi Capt,
I am surprised that Shah did not have the transformers,they have a wide range in stock.

Hi Rajiv,
I had asked them for torodial transformer. The website from above link doesn't seem to list any torodials either.
I understand that torodial tranny is better suited for audio applications.

I know, even George recommended them. Their website doesn't work.
I just googled them & found out their contact details & spoke to them.
They asked me to send a mail listing out my requirement. Red Tape

Cowon A2 --- had it for about five years!
iaudio, Rajiv - you are of course welcome to my place on Sunday.
This is my present system:
HTPC -> DDDac -> Lyrita 2A3 Valve amplifier -> Lyrita Harmony One speakers.
I still do have my EPOS M12.2 but they are packed and left on the rafters.
The Harmony Ones have been with me for just under a week now and even in that time I have not really had too much chance to spend time with them. So they are not fully broken in. Well, that is the disclaimer over and done with
Anybody else interested are also welcome. The only thing is that the listening room is just 12X14 or so. So you might have to adjust somewhat.
Yes, the DAC I mentioned above is the Doede Douma DAC Kit modified and fitted with a valve regulated power supply and with a tube stage output by Viren. The DAC has an USB input as well as an SPDIF one. Currently I am exploring only the USB option. As time goes on, I hope to experiment with the other input as well and see if it makes too much of a difference.

iAudio Brings Rain To Chennai!
Well, ok, it has rained in the night over the past couple of days, but for daytime rain and a lowering of the temperature just a little, we have to thank iaudio
I hope you had a great day. It happened that I was out and about anyway. I do hope you could maybe make it to a Chennai Meetup.

Sounds like a nice day. Sorry I didn't join in.
Hi,
I really enjoyed myself, yesterday after a pretty stressed out week.It was nice meeting up with the guys.
Looking forward to some tube rolling with Sasi's Cayin amp either this weekend or the next .
The tripath amp is amazing value for Rs.4000/-.The Cayin amp is very good.
Playing the Sheffield drum track on 99-100db @1 watt horn speakers with a 30 watt tube amp was an ear opener for me.In fact someone commented that my neighbours might start complaining.The bass control of the Cayin was superb.The Altecs really sang with the extra power on tap.
The PP Cayin and the SET present music in their own unique ways.On electronic music the PP amp sounded a little better, bass also had more weight.On acoustic,strings,vocal music my preference is for the SET.
Regards
Rajiv
