beech!! i miss you out-of-India friendlies.

You cleaned!!

It got "cleansed"!! :ashamed:
Operation CBR (clean Bikey's room) happened.
Phase 1 over. Phase 2 (giveaways) to happen soon. :ashamed:
Now you can even sleep on the sofa if you need a place to rest ever.

Looks like all the junk is finally finding a way out of the mess!

Pick up the meridian explorer instead of the dragon fly. Far better sounding for not much more. Plus there is a local dealer. Not sure about prices though .

Thanks dada. Me too have heard it might be better overall, esp for stereophiles.
I have been kinda obsessed with the AQ Dragonfly, the technical wizardry and the ease of use like auto volume control via system volume, the changing colours, etc.
Need something first for portable use primarily- so can use with home pc (less often used) or notebook pc wherever i go.
Also, it might sound ok for EDM, is the feeling i got from whatever reviews i read about it.
For primary PC use, I might get a Essence One Muses Edition or something on those lines eventually when i upgrade to good speakers.

P.S. For the uninitiated-

@Darklord is back!!
Not checked Darky dada but seems like an ok chip for HTPC or even a 24x7 general usage PC.
Gaming rig is Intel. Something had to be AMD.

Someone is going flatout

Good, should translate into a nice balanced setup. Keep it up.

Well that table does not exactly strike me as clean. Must have been a lot worse!
