shindo vs. atma-sphere

i've been auditioning shindo and atma-sphere pre-amps, particularly for their phono sections and was wondering who else has compared the two brands.

which gives better sound and is easier to live with over the long term?

i like the shindo sound, but the atma-phere seems like it will be easier to maintain/repair and get replacement tubes. plus, atma-sphere is always upgrading their electronics and upgrades are relatively easy to get.

In your post you say you like the Shindo sound.Then your question asks "which gives better sound"
You answered your own question.
To you Shindo sounds better.
To others Atma-sphere is the choice.
Are you going to use a MM or MC cartridge.
I happen to enjoy the Shindo sound but the gain in the phono stage is low for many Moving coils and a SUT may be needed.
The correct choice would be what sounds best to you.Not what sounds best to others.
