Hi Stevieboy,
Thank you for a very informative and welcoming post. I am in Allahabad but had been toying with the idea of gatecrashing the Bangalore meet which was a resounding success by all accounts. I wish I could have been there to meet everyone present and listen to the fabulous equipment showcased.
I have warm memories of listening to valve equipped radiograms in my childhood. My cousins had assembled a system with a Garrard record changer, a Siemens amplifier and I forget which speakers in the 1960s. They were all great Beatles fans, who were then at the top of the pop charts. The lyrics were beyond me but the sound quality and power were overwhelming. I have not bought any valve based amplifier, except for a few valve radios that I have collected, but am testing the waters.
Cadence speakers are reputed to be difficult to partner except with Cadence amplifiers and I am glad that the new Lyrita has broken the myth. May it go from success to success! I will try to audition it when I am in Delhi next.
Thank you once again for your cordial invitation to Bangalore. I will certainly drop in and meet you and your system when I am there.
With warm personal regards.
