I have a Masseto paired with the "lowly" Montille 6v6 amp, and it is a great amp, and fully up to being fed by the Masseto. Amazing transparencey, and musicality. My dealer said it well, all the Shindo amps are great, just get the one you like. I think the Montille is a real sweet spot in the line, as did Art Dudley in his review. I see there is a Montille EL84 amp for sale here now. Jump on that.
Shindo amps vs. preamps
Hello-
I see more on the forums related to Shindo preamps than amplifiers. Are the preamps what makes Shindo systems very good, or does the Shindo amp make the magic?
Reason being, in my experience the tube amp has always made more magic than the preamp. I'm not sure if that is the case with Shindo. I can not use a Shindo preamp as I require remote, but have been looking into Shindo Montrachet and Haut Brion amps.
Thanks,
KeithR
