Greetings!

I would like to thank all members who were instrumental in setting up this meet and make it happen especially Sid Trehan for his warm and generous hospitality.

This meet proved to be a perfect opportunity for me to learn and experience many aspects of Hi-Fi from basic to intricate. With the help of useful inputs and clarifications from our veteran members like Kamal ji, Viren Sir, Rajeev Ji and other seasoned members many complex issues were explained in a very simple way without any technical jargons and terms.

Even the young brigade with trained ears and detailed understanding helped me in getting answers to a lot of my questions, much appreciated.

The meet had ample equipment and gave us the luxury to audition different components such as (SPEAKERS) B&W , PSB Synchrony, Quad L11 and Tannoy F1. (Amps) DIY Mono-blocks, QUAD pre and power, NAD , Marantz, Lyrita, Topping. DACs at the do were Benchmark and Beresford. Marantz SACD player and IPOD were used as transports. Music ranged from Classical western/Indian, soft rock, fusion, Jazz, Blues, Hindi film music to some electronica. We also had some audiophile grade cds as well as other stuff picked up from the shelf. A few numbers by Alan Taylor, Chris Jones, Jacintha, Anand Shankar and others sounded really awesome.

These systems were jacked with a variety of cables and ICs from high end (darn expensive ones) to very basic entry level and affordable ones. So that we can listen and try to differentiate between the so called inferior and superior stuff and also decide whether is it wise to cough up such huge sums on these cables and ICs. I say, if you have the moolah and if you can then why not!

LUCKY DIP: Two of the members emerged as lucky winners and bagged cables from Cardas Audio worth $ 350.00 USD each. A few others including me got back home with a Cardas Audio baseball cap, Rajeev ji thanks again for your kind gesture.

In between all this we were offered many rounds of juices, colas and tea both pre and post lunch (true Punjabi) which comprised of Dal Makhni, Shahi Paneer, Aloo Gobhi , green salad and assorted breads courtesy our pal Sid Trehan, brother you are on one of the best hosts Ive met so far.

Time flieshell yeah!

We called it a day at about 6.45 pm as many had to drive/travel back as far as 40 kms like in my case from the venue (Sid Trehans house). The day ended on a positive and a promising note of making the meet bigger and better the next time...

Many thanks
A
