Hi Tanoj
Yes, there is one, atleast! I have an old HMV player bought in the 80's but defunct now! Looking to resurrect it or replace it with a new one, space at home permitting. I am seriously considering getting back into vinyl but am also pulled in other directions (cd, Flac etc.). What about you mate? What setup do you have?
Happy new year mate. Shine on.

hey yezdian. its really impressive that you listen to lps daily. loved that bit. hi tanoj. if you are seriously into vinyls, 200 discs isn t too large for us indians with such a huge legacy of music. my only advice, go for the titles as and when you come across. any and eevery hobby requires sweat and time. but the pool of good titles is depleting fast. i hope there are quite a few lp sellers in hyd with not so exorbitant prices
Thank you for commenting entsurgeon . it is true wht you said about 200 lps being small for us Indians if we are really into vinyls . That is why i posted that "i have a small collection of 200 lps " there are a couple of people i know in hyd who have more than 800 to 1000 lps . There is an aged person on whom once there was an article in the local eenadu paper saying that he has more than 8000 records mostly 78 rpms .

yeah. all i know is if i have to pick only 200 titles from all the titles ever made and discard the rest from my collection.. it ll be one heck of a thing to do. many titles i have just because i like but one song in it. however that one song i may be loving and listening much more than a title which has 3-4 good songs.
vinyls are physical expression of our love to music.

Hi Manoj,
I have a collection of about 200 LPs , which I regularly listen to on my Denon TT.I am trying to revive my Garrard Zero 100 S TT,but that is an uphill task in Hyderabad.My LPs are of a wide musical spectrum, English pop,rock, instruementals,Western Classical,Indian Classical,etc.Nothing like good old vinyl.Cheers

WOW Aditya,that's a really impressive collection of classic stereo equipment that you have.I am also a completely analogue audio listener and enjoy making my own music compilations on cassettes,which I listen to in my car, to and fro work.Keeping the old equipment going is a real challenge,especially in Hyderabad.Cheers
Hi Sanjay , It is so nice to hear from a cassette / analogue audio listener from Hyderabad . even i make most of my recordings on cassettes and listen to them daily . cassettes have their own sound . spools have their own sound and vinyl of course has its own but at the end of the day all these are the real tone i mean analogue audio is real .Yes you are so damn right about maintaining old equipment here at Hyderabad is a real Herculean challenge . we all vinyl / analogue audio lovers of Hyderabad should plan an analogue audio meet .
hello Yesdian,
thats a good idea :clapping:
let us arrange a analogue meet , interested people start voting in
Regards
Tanoj
There will be vinyl, with audio setup, cassettes, reel etc
incase if we do not get crowd, we can do it at any one place.

That's a really good idea.By the way, I have a whole lot of spools that I have not played in years,as my Akai GX 370 packed up and so I don't have a reel recorder any more. If you know anyone who is selling a good operational machine,please let me know.Cheers,

I am in. Would love to meet & greet analog heads! I have an old HMV TT which hasn't been spun in sometime. A past repair by an inexperienced technician rendered it mono from stereo. The channels are shorted, I believe. Have to get it fixed up.

Guys, get down to Mahbood Electronics on Abids. Past master at hi fi for the last 40+ years. get all your stuff done there. While I lived in Hyd, my folks would take our stuff there to have it fixed. He is currently the authorised Sony Service wallah
I posted here about a Marantz 2270 which I restored. This was previously
repaired by Mabood, and all I can say is that they were totally clueless.
I had to do a complete rebuild of the amp boards because of the botched job.

USK Electronics in Somajiguda and Avis Electronics in RP Road (Contact- Sachin). An audiophile acquaintance of mine gets his stuff repaired by Avis. I also got my Philips cans repaired by Sachin @Avis. Decent job. I should have taken him up on cable replacement also!
Planning to drop my TT at Avis this weekend. Let's see how it goes.
