@ghdprentice thanks for your note. I've heard a bunch of great solid state gear but the tubes always call me back. Shindo + DeVore seems to be a match made in heaven so.i can't wait to give it a go .looks like you are also a headphone kunkey like me. Not enough of us head-fi and two channel folks.
Considering Shindo
I'm the victim of too many glowing reviews. I love tubes, particularly SET amps. Current setup is a SL1200G - Manley Chinook - Manley Jumbo Shrimp - Finale Audio (aka Trios labs out of Canada) 300B Monos - Heresy IV. I'm about to take the plunge on some DeVore o/93 and think it might be time to explore Shindo. What preamp should I look at as an appropriate starting point and upgrade from the Manley? I'm always in search of that balance between sweetness/beauty and clarity. Don't mind a colored sound as long as the details are still present. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. The o/93s have landed and they sound fantastic. Lots of body and presence. While I love the sound of SET amps, particularly my 300b monos, I don't think they optimally drive the 93db DeVores so I will probably swap for another power amp. Any recommendations in the Shindo line I should be looking at? |
@goldprintaudio thanks for the tips! I'll keep an eye out :) |
