-- Audition & meetup @ Gurgaon -- 6th or 7th Feb (date to be confirmed)

Re: -- Audition & meetup @ Gurgaon -- 7th Feb

My apologies Amit ji. Done the needful. Appreciate the kind words, i am merely coordinating for a time together with friends.

I just hope that power doesnt play a clown that day, for which ggaon is known for despite the fact that i am arranging for a genset for power backup.

Sid, no 'ji' please. We all have an universal title - music-lovers. We all are same. You please call me as 'Amit'.

Thx

------------------- DRIVE DIRECTIONS TO THE VENUE -------------------

Assuming that most will be coming via Dhaula Kuan.. please read on. Hv tried to be detailed to assist you best.

1) CROSS TOLL
cross toll on the highway, keep movng on the highway. Cross this first fly over.

2) EXIT HIGHWAY FROM A CUT TO YOUR LEFT FOR MEHRAULI / IFFCO CHOWK.
You have to get out of the highway now, so take the exit cut, keep your vehicle at a moderate speed and to your left.
Once you take the exit, you will now be on a road parallel to Jaipur highway and alongside the flyover.

DO NOT TAKE LEFT TURN TOWARDS MEHRAULI !! , cause you have to go to the right side.


3) Reach IFFCO CHOWK red light crossing & Take U-TURN towards DELHI
Yes you have to take a u-turn to Delhi, but only once you reach the signal & the crossing, dont take the u-turn cut under the flyover before the signal.
Keep your vehicle slow and to the left, move 30-50mtrs.

4) Take FIRST LEFT TURN
Once you take the u-turn and drive 50mtrs approx, you will see a decent wide asphalt road, keep going till road ends (about 1.5kms long).
Keep on driving till the ROAD ENDS and TURN RIGHT. (this is the road on which MARUTI's factory is & also this leads to FUN&FOOD VILLAGE)

Now, after turning right, drive straight till you reach the first and the only "faulty T-point Traffic Signal" on this road. Its should not be in working condition i hope! ..Anyway, before this traffic signal you will also find the usual Big Blue Direction Board indicating " <--- PALAM VIHAR "

5) Turn LEFT from this "faulty traffic signal"
This road goes straight to Palam Vihar after crossing sector 21, 22 & 23.
Keep going straight. we have to cross the local market (will come to your right side).
Soon as the markets finish, maintain a slow speed.

Now, there will be two parks on both sides of you and you have to TURN RIGHT, soon as the park on your right side finishes.

Follow this road slowly for 0.5 km and look to your right hand side for this home -->

If our generous Host, time and fellow members permit then I would like to bring the Onkyo Digital Dock i.e ND-S1 along with the Beresford Caiman DAC to the meeting to calculate the pros and cons of digital music which is the future. I also need to confirm from Siddhartha whether he has wifi connection avaliable at his venue for me to showcase the full potential of my above mentioned setup.

Ashish bhai,

1) we shall be in basement, behind 4 inch thick wall of glass wool-wood and the wifi is on the ground floor. I dont we shall be able to receive signals. A portable usb net connection 'may' work for the situation though.

2) But, having said so, i believe if you bring that along, it shall enable fellow members gather info about technology around us.

So what we can do is, once we are done with the main section, we can come upstairs alongwith an amp+source and then you can share what you intend to.

Sam, if u can come on time. pls feel free to bring ur wife along and that goes for others as well, who may want to.

Its a home you are coming to, will have my family at home but we group mates wont be bothered at all. she shall have my wife to give company and make friends with. That way i shall also be spared from the 'Act of God' ..hopefully.
