Lol.
The party sounds good.
Even Amey was saying he'll come down to mumbai.

There's a small change, the Stinger Helix was not feasible, hence pitched for Monster Cable XLN Pro.

karankapoor · 22nd April 2009, 22:51

good they are far better then the stinger ones you were going for,whats the price of this.

frankmehta · 22nd April 2009, 22:53

KK, stinger is pretty awesome! in fact i like the way the stingers look better than the monsters.
these babies set me back by about 3k i guess

frankmehta · 22nd April 2009, 23:18

Found more photos of my amp. Looks quite solid and well built. I guess pictures is all I will get to see for one WHOLE month

abhinav.gupta88 · 22nd April 2009, 23:19

The monsters are pretty good.
Stingers are good too.

Congrats Frank.

karankapoor · 22nd April 2009, 23:23

i know how it feels for the stuff.

and are you sure there are no changes in the amp & hu department like the RCA

frankmehta · 22nd April 2009, 23:27

nahi yaar. Head unit and Amp remain. I dont think I can do better than the 7200MKII. For me, its the best that I could buy in the market. I say best, because the higher end units dont have USB and Bluetooth. I need those.
Besides, the HX-D2 plays only CD Audio, and I dont have many original cds lying around.
Mac and Nak dont have TA.
I was almost going to buy the Denon DCT-Z1, but put off plans when I found out it was used for 4 years.

abhinav.gupta88 · 23rd April 2009, 00:07

It really is an amazing HU.
Don't look back Frank.
I'm sure you'll love it.

The Amp looks awesome frank.
Since its a 2 channel you'll loose out the option of going active.
Why not a 4 channel from the same?
Too expensive?

frankmehta · 23rd April 2009, 00:30

abhi, going active is an option. But not right now. The 4 channel was available, but slightly over budget!
The Ultimate range was way over the budget.
But then i thought, something is definitely better than nothing, and right now im full on BROKE! So for now its a 2 channel amp. Later dekha jaayega

abhinav.gupta88 · 23rd April 2009, 00:35

How will you go active from the 2 channel frank?

frankmehta · 23rd April 2009, 00:46

no no. i dont want to mention the fact that I will make another upgrade to another 2 channel to go active.. lol

Lucky you buddy. I can't even think about 'Later'.

BTW one month waiting period is HUGE. :(
It seems like it would be worth once you hear it from the lucies.

abhinav.gupta88 · 23rd April 2009, 00:51

I doubt that Frank. But smell something else fishy.

frankmehta · 23rd April 2009, 01:11
