Jib222,Thanks for your sharing of listening impressions regarding the Shindo preamplifier. The results of the Black fuse has been very consistent across a multitude of brands of audio components. This thread is witness to that and quite emphatical... 
What piece(s) of equipment would you most like to try?
I’d like to audition the Ocellia 300b mono blocks (with their silver wired output transformers) and TW Raven 300b SETs to hear how they differ from my SET.Tonian Labs Classic 12.1 speakers with the amplifiers listed above. Charles,

Ucc118,When you describe the Primaluna as providing more warmth,  emotional connection and fuller sound then you’ve made the right choice. These are the qualities that will keep you very happy for the long term. Congratulations! Charles,

Ucc118,What you’ve just described and experienced is the unquestionable result of a "higher" quality tube power amplifier. The additional 20 pounds and 2000.00 dollars certainly suggest bigger and better output transformers and power supply. I’m n...

"So much for the respect thread  " Mapman I have no idea what is going on with you and joecasey. As an open forum people are free to comment (good or bad ). With well over 2200 posts on this thread, overwhelming the attitude and decorum has been e...

Frank, I cut my teeth on Blue Note recordings during my initial exposure to jazz recordings (vinyl and CD).  This label definitely had many of the jazz icons early in their careers. Rudy Van Gelder during the 1950-60s was the recording engineer fo...

Frank,Contemporary is one of my favorite historic/classic  jazz labels along with Riverside, Prestige and Columbia Records. They all  had terrific musicians and consistently good sound quality. Charles,
