| Denon DL103R with Shindo Monbrison I agree that the Shindo and the Denon 103R (w/o the A23) is only a mediocre combination, and while it "works" it is not great.Truce.Have a great evening. | |
| Denon DL103R with Shindo Monbrison I concluded it by the fact that: (1) I was the only one that responded; (2) you only waited one day before coming to a conclusion without any other input by forum members (despite asking for comments) and (3) by being just a bit too definitive in ... | |
| Denon DL103R with Shindo Monbrison Paul - It seems like you probably had your mind made up before you asked the question. Why ask unless you want several people to respond (which would occur over several days)?Good luck in your search. | |
| Denon DL103R with Shindo Monbrison I have a denon 103r and the Monbrison. It is a combination that works, but it works much much better with the Auditorium 23 transformer. This combination does turn it into a giant killer. | |
| Anyone else heard the Quicksilver Triode Amps? Yes, it is a different amp. I have the 6C33C triode amps w/ NOS tubes (and they are terrific). I have not heard the KT88's, but I presume that they are a bit less "sweet" sounding. They work great with your speakers. | |

| Shindo and synergistic components The 103R is an very good match with the Monbrison and outstanding when you add the Auditorium 23 transformer ---just like the boys at 6 moons said. And I don't worry about it with my 9 and 6 year olds. | |
| Shindo and synergistic components Timothy - I am thnking about the Haut Brion although I am quite satisfied with my Quicksilver Triodes. What is the sonic character of the Haut Brion? And did you try out any other speaker cable (i.e. Kubala Sosna)? | |

| Shindo and synergistic components Too expensive for my blood. I do hear that with each step up there is a discernable improvement. | |
| Shindo and synergistic components I have the Monbrsion matched with Quicksilver (6C33C) Triodes that are 50 watts per channel and Merlin VSM-MX speakers. The Monbrison is a tremendous preamp. Extremely musical and accurate. Art Dudley is right on. The phono section is also stellar... | |
| Would you get ASC Tube Traps or RealTraps I am thinking about room treatments as well. How do the real traps compare to Echobusters (which have a relatively high WAF)? | |
| Joule, Blue Circle, CAT SL1 Joule 150 is a great preamp for the Merlin's. | |
| What amp should be used with merlin vsm's? I recently moved from Cary Sixpacs to Quicksilver (6C33C0) Triodes and have found the change to be terrific. I also know that Bobby really likes the 6C33C tube. Clear, impactful with a beautiful midrange. The sixpcs were really good (seducctive an... | |
| Does a good sounding surge protector exist? I have exactly the same question for my amps. I am glad you posed it and look forward to the responses. |
