DIY magic

[csricharan]

On a trip to visit my folks in Hyderabad, I had the lovely experience of meeting Raghu, a DIY enthusiast or maybe I should say a DIY magician. It was all thanks to a small problem in my dad's Akai AP007 TT and Mr Jacob's recommendation that Raghu could help. While he quickly solved the problem in the TT, he gave me a sonic glimpse of the system he has been making: vacuum tube pre and power amps, horn design single unit (unified) fostex driver speakers and a TT I cannot get out of my mind. Pressed for time (in our different ways), I could only hear a few tracks but what I heard was very, very impressive. If you're ever in Hyderabad then you must make a pilgrimage to his truly hi-fidelity temple and get an opportunity to expand your aural horizons!

Appreciate your appreciation for a fellow DIYer.
I will keep in mind to visit him as Hyderabad is in my wish to visit again place list.

Raghu is pretty well known in the DIY circles. He has helped a lot of DIYers with various things including cabinets, boards, assembly etc. Very helpful and always ready to take up the next big challenge. May the tribe grow!

Raghu is a master DIY'er, having limitless capabilities, and a great personality too!

To me Raghu would have made a great product designer. His creations are a visual feast.

Absolutely. His visual and aural aesthetics are a treat. As is his friendliness.

I use a tonearm made by Raghu. It's one of the best I have ever heard.

Looks like he is using a magnetic pivot tonearm himself, I forgot the name of the patent and owner right now. I made one similar too albeit in much cheaper way.

 

[Sumanta]

Aah got it now, the name is Mr. Schroeder.
