Hi Guys
If any of you ever go to Cochin, an audition of the Rethm Saadhanas at Jacob's place is a must. It will open your eyes and ears to what music through a system should sound like. I have heard a lot of stuff, both mid fi and high end at many dealers, both in India and abroad. But nothing compares to what you hear at Jacobs place. What is even more interesting is that Jacob uses reasonably priced amps and cd players. Earlier he had a modded Maramtz 63. Now he has a Northstar Transport and DAC. Amps earlier were Quicksilver. Now he uses Diva amps from Singapore. There is hardly any room treatments save a thin foam panel on the back wall.
