    Oh shoot! I am actually traveling to India in Jan and will be in Chennai on the 9th and 10th. But I won't be able to make it, as I have other commitments on the 13th. It would have been very nice to meet you all.. Have fun!

    I would have somehow made it to the meet, was I not leaving on a trip with my family on 13th morning. Now that I know we have a gang in Chennai, I'll remember to plan ahead the next time.

    Looking forward to the impressions and pictures from the meet.

    Gents,

    One more week for the meet. Please let me know what kind of accessories will be needed. And, of course, food preferences, ranging from local to something upscale.

    Thanks

    I will bring a few spike busters from home. There's a bunch of them available at the office too. I will also bring a few power cords, and a couple of usb cables (standard cords, not audiophile ones). I only have 2 short rca connectors. We will need more of those and XLR cables.

    Given that there are way more amps than dacs it will be nice to see a few more dacs.
