I first went to absolute phase in 2012. It has been 8 years now, I haven’t looked else where for audio advise. The owner, Prithvi is a thorough gentleman and knows his audio pretty in depth. Despite going there in 2012 the first item I purchased from there was in 2014, but I was more than welcome anytime with a phone call to go and listen and talk about music. You can tell that Prithvi is doing this with a passion. Keep it up and going. I am ever thankful I met this guy." |

I first met Prithvi when my untrained ear couldn't pick an F Sharp from a C Minor, all of 15 years ago. The fact that I still can't may be attributed to an older age, but the passion and friendship and knowledge that I have imbibed from Prithvi has changed my sonic life. Over the years I have continued to remain in awe of his passion, knowledge and honesty. I wish to especially elaborate on the last point. Years after the Manufacturer Warranty expired, Prithvi felt quite unjustifiably responsible for some damage my equipment had suffered and liaised with the Manufacturer, to help address my issues, an act beyond the call of normal duty. It was for him not an act of business; it was and continues to remain a labour of love. We now live in the UK, with a myriad of Audiophiles and Fora available to address my needs, but what do I do after all these years when I need some advice? I call my friend and Audio muse Prithvi. Says it all." |

Reproducing sound to channel it nearly perfectly through a secondary medium is a tough ask. That's what we audiophiles run after. Somewhere we stop to note the difference between sound and music. And that's where my good friend Prithvi of Absolute Phase steps in. I had always loved my music, but was only looking for my "perfect" way to listen to it. Prithvi introduced me to the best sounding (does not necessarily mean the most expensive) 2 channel. Let’s be honest - we all know that high end exists - we all know how utterly complex this can be - what we all do not know is that music, and the way in which it is meant to be heard, is so personal that no one can dictate preferences - not even Prithvi. And therefore the best sounding system that I have referred to above could be the worst thing you have ever heard. Prithvi shepherds you to the grasslands and leaves you there - with all the "grass" and all the "land". I think he gives two things to a prospect that many don't - your time and your space. I auditioned at Prithvi's for 32 hours, of which 8 were straight. Who gives you that freedom? Post the rigorous auditioning, I took 3 months to decide ... how many times did he follow up? Once- that's all. The good part about Absolute Phase is that its plucks (or did at least with me) that personal chord, which you do not feel in a run-of-the-mill showroom. Post sales too are a wonderful experience - a very no strings attached kind of scene. Absolute Phase is the place I'd go to over and over again - even for a cup of chai - if nothing else!!" |

When I met Prithvi in the early Nineties, I was just getting interested in good quality audio equipment. I had no knowledge whatsoever what direction to take. Over the years Prithvi has helped me build a system that gives me immense satisfaction and has helped me truly appreciate music the way I want to enjoy it. Without him I would have made many expensive mistakes and taken many wrong turns, but he has been the perfect guide and friend without ever pushing sales of his own products. Thanks Prithvi! |
