they work...I was just curious about them. Although, the schematic will be helpful for any unforeseen future issues.     
Shindo vs the world
@smodtactical in two words; engaging and textured. I do not ever feel like the music is missing something. Shindo mates well with Shindo, but I am currently entertaining other amps outside of Shindo to mate.   
Shindo vs the world
having owned many pieces of gear, both SS/tubes old and new, Shindo (for my tastes) is among the best. As some folks have already pointed out, they do have a certain sound signature, therefore may not jive for everyone. I've owned the Shindo Corte...

PS Audio BHK lacking..
There may be something wrong with your preamp outside of tubes-There is no way it should sound as poorly as described if all is well. What kind of amp are you pairing with? Have you played around with the current jumpers? If it is a tube issue, th... 
To all PS Audio BHK preamp owners *** must read ***
Since getting my BHK preamp I have played around with many setting options including the jumpers. I even purchased a 6922 converter to use 6sn7 tubes in the preamp, for that, it is important to keep the jumper at factory setting 4mv. I agree with ...
