+1 for Aric Audio. Give Aric Kimball a call, he's a great guy to talk to and will be honest with his opinions; and builds extraordinary equipment. Not sure how it compares to the Shindo equipment, but I've never seen a negative review on any of his stuff.....and hundreds of positive. I did tons of research, and ended up buying his Motherlode XL preamp based on that and several conversations with him
