In case you have packed AP , Do put packets of Silica Gel in the box and when you come to India , play it for some time and replace the packets with new Silica gel packets . Dont worry about it getting old / obsolete , in audio world its called as Vintage .

Since you are staying for approx 12 yrs , you can invest in a good gear unless budget is a constraint . This is a long period and why deprive yourself of listening to good music (unless its one or two years) .

Look around and build a system over a period of two years just like you would do if you were in Kolkata . For a temp period go for some budget active speakers and use your phone to stream . or just use your laptop and attach some good speakers to it

Try brands like McIntosh , parasound etc which are American . Don't miss this opportunity to explore HIFI which is available at affordable prices compared to India .

Beautiful advice. Thank you do much.

JBL 705P or JBL 708P or other JBL active monitors are worth giving a shot. Voicing of JBL is very classic. I am sure you can find something in your budget. JBL voicing is just perfect for long listening sessions

How are Audioengine HD6 active speakers

How are Audioengine HD6 active speakers

Active speakers as per the grapevine last less long as compared to the passive

Have you looked into the options of trying out Maggies? Since you are in US, it is worth trying out Maggies. You will get to enjoy a different presentation of music.

+1 on Magnepans - do demo them.

My suggestion for your consideration:
Take a pair of headphones with you and use these while you make a survey of what is on offer there.
It’s a different reality in any other country and the available choices and possibilities are unknown to you at this point.
Maybe, Better not decide on this, here and now.

Effective advice.

Hello Friends
I am moving to USA for good next month
I am considering to take my audio setup after few months of landing in Chicago.

I have acoustic portrait gears:

1. MS 610 tower speaker about 46 kgs
2. Thyaga DAC about 35 kgs
3. Swara integrated amps about about 30 kgs
4. Inter-connects and speaker cables

Dont carry .. u will end up paying more and sometimes legal/customs trouble ..
instead get some new better/stuff in USA , while coming back to india u can bring back that . There things are slightly cheaper than india.

And you will get the trial period for your equipment there where u get opportunity to explore and get better stuff there. if u dont like u can simply return , they will not ask simple question. (except item should not be damaged).

if i am the one i will sell of stuff here and get new stuff in usa.
