Great Kerala trip last week and meeting FMs

[GeorgeO]

I was in the Cochin/Kottayam area last week and got an opportunity to meet and audition some very nice rigs.

First at Byju Chacko's place near Angamali(Analogue Audio Labs), a very nice KT 88 pp amp mated to Cadence Aristas-good combo, then a visit to FM VEA at Aluva, where I heard the Rethm Sadhanas mated to the Gaana's-the sound, using vinyl, was very very nice-sound stage, resolution, mids all outstanding.

Finally, a long awaited trip to Kuruvilla Jacob's place near Kottayam, Primaluna and KEF speakers, great combo, a follow up trip is needed.

Hey George Sir,

Great to hear that you had a great time in Kerala auditioning some outstanding systems. I am going to be in Kottayam during end of this month and will be going to visit Mr Kuruvila Jacob

I have one question though on the Rethm Saadhana you listened to. Did they have the Lowther drivers or the new custom made 7" full rangers designed exclusively for Rethm?

-John.
