Shindo & GamuT - Comments?

I am considering an upgrade to my primary system - I would like to pair a new Shindo Vosne-Romanee preamp with a new GamuT D200i stereo amplifier. I love Shindo preamps and the V-R is the best one I can afford. And I am very pleased with the amplification of my GamuT D150i integrated, which I would trade or sell to get the D200i. But I have concerns about compatibility of the V-R and D200i in terms of impedance and gain. Can any of you offer guidance, either based on actual experience with this combination of components, or based on your knowledge of impedance and gain matching between preamps?

I have a Masseto and a Gamut D200 mk II but not in the same system.
The match should probably work fine but why would you want to do it?
The Shindo would be wasted with the Gamut in my opinion.
The Gamut is an awesome awesome amp and i currently run it with a Juicy Music Peach tube linestage that has a specific low output impedance setting meant to drive low input impedances successfully. The Gamut also has dip switch adjustable gain. It is a highly sucessful combo and makes great music but, in my estimation, the Gamut is not in the same league as your Shindo pre. If you want to go forward with it, I am sure it would probably work just fine though.

You have to remove the cover.

What interconnect do you plan to use btwn shindo and gamut?

What speaker cables?

Good luck!

I never meant to imply that the combo will be anything less than really really good, simply that I think you are leaving some of the Shindo potential on the table and that you could make do with a less expensive pre.
