| Shindo & GamuT - Comments? Jmcgrogan2 - Thank you for your comments. I was pretty sure there was not an impedance problem, less sure about gain. It is my understanding that the gain on the Shindo is fixed and that the gain on the GamuT, both the stereo amp and the monoblock... | |
| Shindo & GamuT - Comments? Apologies - In my original post, the last phrase of the last sentence is incomplete. The following was/is intended for the aforementioned last sentence: Can any of you offer guidance, either based on actual experience with this combination of comp... | |
| Cartridges for Mayware Mk IV Tonearms Raul and Jperry - Noted on high compliance cartridges.Redglobe - I will begin by using the original headshells. Both arms have Perspex center hubs. I bought the table from an audiophile/collector and he set it up for me with the Mayware Mk IV's.Th... | |
| Cartridges for Mayware Mk IV Tonearms Rauliruegas - Thank you for your comments and suggestions. What specific cartridge makes/models do you suggest I consider? (BTW, vintage is intriguing, but I would appreciate all cartridge suggestions you are willing to offer.) And is there a part... | |
| Shindo or VAC preamp I use 3 different Shindo preamps in 3 different systems. I know nothing about the Allegro or the VAC. One of my Shindo preamp-based systems has the Augieges-L paired alternately with a Bedini 25/25 (Isn't that a fantastic little amp?!) and a Luxma... | |
| $5000.00 To Spend Looking for Tube Pre-Amp +1 on the Shindo Aurieges. You might even be able to score a used Shindo Monbrison at your stated price point or a little above. | |
| McIntosh MVP891, MVP881, or MCD500, MCD301? The best MV unit I heard is the MV881. Sorry I did not clarify that in my previous post. The new 32-bit DAC in the MVP891 likely narrows or even eliminates the performance gap for 2-channel playback in comparison the the MCD500. | |
| Best integrated amp for 10K I still stand by my recommendation of the GamuT Di150, but another integrated definitely worth considering is the new Ayre. I heard it two days ago for the first time; it was driving Devore Fidelity Silverbacks and 3XL's. Another superb product of... | |
| McIntosh MVP891, MVP881, or MCD500, MCD301? I use an MCD500 in one of my systems and I chose it over the Mcintosh universal players because I felt it was overall a significantly more musical choice for 2-channel playback. | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier I heard it today for the first time driving DeVore Fidelity Silverbacks and 3XL's. A very impressive integrated. | |

| Shindo Latour vs Verity vs DeVore ..etc I heard a pristine pair of Altec Valencia's (16 ohm version) in a Shindo system about 2.5 years ago. The amp was the Cortese; I do not recall which Shindo preamp was in use. Incredibly musical! I am certain that your Aurieges and Haut Brion would ... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Shindo preamps work well with many amps, not just Shindo amps. I have Shindo preamps in 3 systems - An Aurieges-L with a Bedini 25/25 solid state, a Monbrison with an Accuphase P-3000, and a Masseto with Wavelength Cardinal X2 300B monoblocks. Eac... | |
| Considering Beveridge, your opinion please. Same as Mjc, I too would appreciate seeing comments about Janszen, particularly their newest offering that retails for just under $8K per pair (f memory serves). |
