Just wanted to introduce myself as I have just become active on the Forum. I am Sridhar (Sid) Vootla (sidvee) and am in the process of relocating from Detroit (US - Motown) to Pune (Indian Motown). I was referred this Forum by another esteemed member, and it seems that I have come to the right place (this forum seems quite lively).
Reason is, I have a raging case of audiophilia and would like to share my thoughts.
I am also a reviewer for Soundstage online magazine in the US -

www.soundstage.com - and hope to review some Indian made components soon.
Regards,
Sid

Will you miss autumn in the US this year ? I spent a couple of years in Ann Arbor, Many moons ago, and the autumn colours were just awesome.

Ilive in Mumbai, and in-frequently visit Pune. Maybe we will catch up !

Welcome Sid!
You will find the forum invaluable for info on Indian Manufacturers.
In fact some of them are active members. Hope you can help them to get more international exposure.

Welcome to the forum.
I remember reading the Focus 110 review done by you on soundstage.
Yup…like Jeeves mentioned, there are some really good equipment done by guys out here in India.
You could check them out

Cheers

Have a nice weekend. Where would you be located ?

Thank you all for the warm welcome, and thanks Kamal especially for referring me to this site. It feeld good to be home. Yes Amp nut, I will miss the fall in michigan, but I will definitely not miss the winters! if you know what I mean.
Once I get settled down in Pune, I hope to be able to contact some of the more popular and deserving Indian manufacturers and see if Soundstage will be willing to allow me to do some reviews.
I would request you to submit me some names and contacts.
So far I have:
1. Lyrita
2. Cadence
3. Rethm

Thx.
Sid

Welcome Sridhar!

This bunch of Indian audiophiles is a good bunch to interact with.
Lots of enthusiasm & willingness to try out new stuff. Most of, if not all of the guys, have an open mind.
There has NOT been any bickering on this forum so far. THANK GOD! And, the credit goes to the various forum members. I think that we make Manek's life quite easy here!

I'm sure that he appreciates it.
We have some really experienced & well-travelled (in terms of audio shows) audiophiles that contribute.
I am sure that we will learn from your audio knowledge + your experiences as a reviewer. That reminds me that I should check out your reviews in Soundstage! I read that e-mag regularly but seem to have missed out on your reviews somehow.

BTW, IF I may ask, what got you re-located from DTW to Poona? is it a permanent shift or just a 2-3 year thing for a project? Thanks!

Hello Bombaywalla,
I am moving to Pune on a 2yr assignment with my company - which is an automotive supplier - but I am considering a permanent move down the road.
