| Piece of Audio gear you regret selling Sonic frontiers Line 1 - a very nice tube preamplifier with superb build quality and the best, round, aluminum remote. | |
| DeVore Orangutan O/96 Anyone heard them lately? Interested in people's thoughts, the rooms they were in and their performance. I have a pair on order. | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? Shindo Masseto & Haut Brion - not inexpensive, but wonderful | |
| YBA CD3 alpha I own one. It's a very nice player, with high quality parts and a beautiful, expansive, relaxed, analog like presentation.Not sure how it holds up against other stand alone cd players. I dont use mine much anymore as I have moved to a Wadia i doc ... | |
| DeVore Orangutan O/96 Could be a bit of truth that the 12watt Leban is a bit outclassed by the O/96's, however at 96db the little Leban should have no problem at all driving the O/96 to high volume levels. If you are going to spend $12k on the O/96's then a Shindo Haut... | |
| DeVore Orangutan O/96 The O/96 comes accross as appearing quite big in stature. Are they room dominant do they blend in just fine? Fjn04 - the system you heard them on is almost my system, except substitude the Well tempered for the Ravin 0.5, I wish I was there! | |
| Merlin TSM with Shindo 25 watt amp Thanks very much for all your comments. Its apparent the TSM's would work just fine. I am likely renovating my livingroom which will change the size and acoustics and ultimately the speaker choice. I may wait till my house is in order before I mov... | |

| vpi classic -phono cable I use a Furutech ag-12 phono cable between my TW Raven .5 and my Shindo Masseto and have been very happy with it. I also use Shindo silver between amp/pre along with audience cable for digital. All 3 manufactuers have similar tone and are reasonab... | |
| Any body has listened to TW Acustic Raven 0.5? I own the Raven .5 and its a great table, but apparently discontinued. | |
| Auditorium 23 SoloVox... I think a lot of Shindo owners are waiting for the Orangatans, myself included. John builds very well thoughtout speakers that offer great value for the dollar. On paper it should be a good combo with your Air Tight, however it is too early to tel... | |
| shindo pre-amp and power amp reliabilty Roxy54 - I purchased my haut brion/masseto almost 2 years ago and never looked back... | |
| Looking for a new tube preamp entry level Shindo is great. | |
| shindo pre-amp and power amp reliabilty I bought an Amp/pre-amp about years ago. No issues to date. The business will likely continue even when Mr Shindo retires as family members are currently hand building the components anyway. | |
