Sachi, the glassware site tells me this is a dual mono pcb for line in tube based amp build. Is that so? Your latest build I presume, good luck. Keep us posted.

That it is Titus. Planning a 220V B+ choke filtered PSU, running 6CG7 cleartops for input and 6H30s for the output.
Also planning on modding it to be a parafeed amp, so the it would be OCL.
An Aikido Parafeed. Hah!!..that should be something. Trying to not get sucked into building this right now however.

ue 10 vi. Hope to do some real listening now given so many issues with turning the stereo on.
Didn't get them to office yet. I have lost some stuff in office from my desk and I have to keep running away from my seat - so I think most of the listening would be at home.

^^ they are not too shabby...of course depends how much you paid, I bought a few pairs when they were on sale at 100$.

Thanks guys! I will definitely post pictures as soon as my setup is complete. Right now I have got only the 1610 AVR and WF 9.2 speakers. Rest of the stuff should arrive in a few days.

I can't stop thanking all you guys for your advice on going for AVR+separates instead of an HTIB. And I am really glad I did that. The 1610 sounds phenomenal (atleast to a novice like me) with the 9.2

For WF 9.2 I paid 14.8 K. That's a 13% discount over MRP (17K). I actually got a 13% flat discount on all items totalled together, plus an AudioBridge HDMI cable thrown in for free. The owner of Silo Media (Behram Daruwala) is very helpful and I got lots of good advice from him. I would recommend Behram to everyone intending to buy here in Pune.

Hi,

Received 1 tb WD External HDD yesterday, with 3 years warranty from the ebay.in

Original Price: 4650
Shipping: Free
Discounted Price: 3720, after using 20% discount option
Warranty: 3 years, but when checked on the website, it says "out of region", did check with a local computer guy, who confirmed end users and resellers do not issue, they can still claim warranty.
Delivery Time: 1 day flat

Cheers!

I wonder why you went for "ordinary" speakers with a great amp ??
why not the 10 series ?

A Sony MDR-XB700

It's not an audiophile equipment, but it's absolutely amazing for what it is meant. Love the sound. After almost a decade I bought an audio product from Sony that I can give a 5-star

You are welcome Subhash. That you can buy the cd via a simple procedure is quite convenient.
