Sorry for the delay in writing this. But i have been looking at the air tickets Jaipur-Pune-Jaipur, till a week back they were at 6500 return. But since the last 5 days they have been quoting at 12000!!!
I have been watching it regularly, if i get a deal at around 8-9k, ill take it and come provided the meet is still on.
Otherwise ill will make my trip on 8-9 June as they are still available for 6500 and my work in Pune is flexible with dates.
Thanks and Sorry.

Is the date fixed for June 2?

Yes. Date is fixed for June, 2. Please do join. The more the merrier. Alibaba (Askii2) needs at least 40 thieves.

 

[askii2]

Yes as just4fix has already stated, the date is confirmed to 2nd June. I dropped other dates from the spreadsheet.

Let's quickly finalize at least 3-4 stereo setups and 2-3 HT setups which people want to review. If there are more, that'll be an added bonus.

Please send me the address and one two person's Cell no. I will be out of station starting tomorrow and will be back on sat to attend the meeting on sunday

 

[askii2]

Please send me a PM with your email address and contact no (cellphone). I'll revert back with my contact no and address of the place by Friday.

Thanks.

Looks like i will have to skip this meet due to some other personal priorities. Will decide this by end of this week though.

 

[Santy]

I too would like to keep this meet as an option for now as I anticipate some domestic compulsions. Will confirm in advance though.

I will bring my region free Panasonic BDP so that there is no issue of playing any disc. So you need not bring the Sony BDP. I will also bring the hdmi cable. I will bring the following BDs:

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (for testing deep blacks)
- Hugo 3D (for testing good colour and 3D, if desired)
- Iron man 1 & 2 (for action)

 

[askii2]

Great. Do you have cables for rear speakers? Rear cables at my place are pushed into walls. I can bring usual front cables. For rear cables I do have other cables, but none of them are so long.

 

[just4kix]

Sorry. No speaker cables. My HT cables are all concealed.

Hey askii2, what would be the timing of this meet ?

 

[PradyumnaNaik]

Hey Guys,

I am a new bee here, but would still like to attend the meet.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Can the address of the meet be posted on the spreadsheet or within the forum itself?

 

[jbgude]

Am I missing something ...? Has the address /contact info been shared? Shall be unavailable for most of the day tomorrow.

Askii2, Thank you for letting us know asap.

 

[askii2]

Sorry folks. I have been too busy. Will post all this information soon. If you would like to get it on your cellphone, kindly send me a message. I can send an SMS to all those who share their cellphone numbers.

It seems B&W 685 are not available for auditioning in Pune stores. I plan to bring my B&W 685 as well.
However I have a pace amplifier paired with them. It'll be best if someone else brings a better amplifier.
