[mpw]

prem,

congratulations !!

its good to know RoC is thinking along the saadhanas too.

They are wonderful speakers - kindof the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle.

good luck and happy music !

Congrats Prem, can't wait to hear them!

Thanks Hydra. I am sure it will be a better experience. Based on the feedback i have got i think it will marry the strengths of the Rethm Second with those of Saadhana Version 2. Rethm Seconds were very very good on the mids. The Saadhanas Version 2 speed and attack is amazing. With the new Saadhanas i expect to retain the speed, immediacy and the attack of the older version with better mids and even better bass integration

I think you're the only person who's owned and extensively used nearly every iteration of the big Rethms! After Jacob George, you're probably THE authority on them. It would be great if you could expand on this thought of yours (about the changes in sound) in more detail once you get the Saadhanas and have them set up.

Coincidentally, I placed an order for the Rethm Gaanam Valve amp yesterday. I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy anything other than the Rethm sound and presentation any more.

Hi Nikhil

Thanks. The nice part is i am in the same train. Hopefully the shift is to a better compartment

Hi Santy

Thanks. You don't need a reason to come to my place. You can drop in anytime and not wait for upgrades

 

[prem]

Hi mpw and docd

Thanks guys. We will soon have a swear in ceremony. But before that we can have a visarjan party for the old Saadhanas and perform the last aarti

 

[prem]

Hi hydra

Jacob is the authority. My experience is highly limited and restricted to what i hear at my home.

Congrats on your new amp.

Congrats Prem, a great choice!

Hey Prem,

Good to hear. Will await a detailed report from you..

 

[prem]

Hi Absolute Phase, thanks. Next time I am in Blr, would love to hear the 30.1. What amp are you using to drive them?

Hi square wave, I am very bad at penning my views. I will leave that to Denom or mpw to do since they are quite familiar with my Saadhanas

Congrats Prem

 

[himadri]

Congrats Prem
Great news.
cheers

 

[prem]

Thanks AVM

Thanks Himadri, any changes to your system? When are you next coming to Mumbai?

 

[himadri]

Hi Prem
No changes in my system as yet but am enjoying it as such in its present form .
My next mumbai visit is not foreseen in the near future. I would prefer it to happen when the new saadhnas are installed- I still remember the Amitabh Bacchan and Dilip Kumar conversation from the film soundtrack in your system- a great example of real texture, color and vivid sound reproduction.
cheers

 

[prem]

Hi Himadri

Great that you are enjoying your system. I guess my system with the new speakers should be operational by July end

 

[anm]

[anilva]

Congrats Prem. We should exchange visits anytime soon.

 

[prem]

Hi Anilva

Congrats !

 

[prem]

Hi mandyrhtdm

Thanks. I dont think we have ever interacted. Just saw that you have a Norge set up. Thats a great set up for its price. Do you still have it?
