I think this would be lovely get together for Delhi Audiophiles who are used to meets with lots of music playing, since there's no experience like a actual listening experience.
Plus an excellent opportunity for audiophiles in Delhi/NCR who are on the lookout for audio systems ,to audition them in a proper home environment,with senior audiophiles on hand for consultation/advice.
As usual, plz do come with some of your fav music & some music that you may have picked up recently & wish to share with others, for a really fun time.
Thanks, Sid.
 
Thanks Kamal sir.

@ Anm, DILLIHIFI
it shall be a pleasure hv friends over.


Also, i missed to mention that :

a) we shall have two Marantz CD Players also to listen to. One of them happens to be an entry level SACD Player.

b) Fun will be to play a track on DENON 2309 AV receiver and then via Marantz PM15 S1 Stereo Amp & lastly to be played via Quad Pre-Power combo,

c) And we can also checkout out Blue ray player - Panasonic BD30 & Panasonic Projector - 200U (720P)

Hi Siddharth
Thanks for the invitation. I would definitely try and make it..Would like to listen to the Quad 11Ls with Quad pre-power. Would be grateful if you could ask Denny if convenient to bring a Wharfdale SW 150 to be paired with the 11ls as I have the same seakers and am looking for a sub.

Look forward to meeting up with fellow members.
 
I am very new to the forum. Would love to be part of the meet. I can come along with my Onkyo TX-SR507 in case anybody interested.
 
@ Pandit ji
Surely, i shall ask Denny for this and rather shall compile all the requests and see what all we can plug n play.


@ Saurav
Good to meet you. I hope friends willing to have a go at Onkyo shall hola back in due course, we have quite sometime at hand.
What do you do otherwise?
 
Just a request to all, who so ever may be willing to join in for the session kindly advise back with their respective mobile numbers. It shall become easier to coordinate for anything that be needed just before the meet up day.

Wishes

Thanks for your Invitation Siddharta, but its too early to commit for Feburary, will definitely try to make it to your place,and will let you know well in advance.
 
@ Ashish
Most welcome. Yes, we can firm up the confirmed members first week of Feb.

But planning in advance should help, since i foresee this meet to be quite an interesting one from testing various options available for potential buyers. The session could seemingly run quite a few hours, if participation level is high.

Filhaal, the idea was to just get everyone aware.

See you
 
Hi Siddharth,

Thanks for the invitation. I wiill try to be present. Listening to audio system in home environment is always important. Specially I am interested to have a first time feel of room treatment in home environment. Also, I will have opportunity to listen to Quad spkr. I like to carry some of my fav music CD, if you permit.
 
had a query from people keen ..
Do we have any gamer amongst us who would like to have a session of Xbox later after the auditions are done with, in the AV room?

Let me know so that i could make arrangements and bring in a few popular titles that could be played with the group around.

Yes I would love playing Need 4 Speed Franchisee on the Xbox360, I wouldn't call myself a gamer but I love racing games and I happen to have a Ps3 for this very purpose.
 
After having missed the Delhi meet, would not want to miss the one closer home! Please count me in.
 
@ VENU, ASHISH & DANCC
Shall be a pleasure to have u at the day.

@ Venu
Sure, u may pls bring the ur DIY creation.

@ Ashish
Am not a gamer either, but do like to play once a while. Will 'BURNOUT' be fine instead of 'NFS' ?
 
Count me in, please. Would love to simply meet up with other A/V enthusiasts.

PS: Guys I am not sure it is a good idea to be posting personal phone numbers and/or addresses in an open forum. Wouldn't email or PM be more appropriate for that?.
