| is the Montille a real Shindo? Its been a while since my original post. This thread originally started because someone once quipped that this entry level Shindo PP amp wasn't a "real Shindo". Since then, I have acquired a Montille and had a chance to really listen to it both in... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II I had the pleasure of having Jean over along with his uber monster Lenco. I'm seriously considering upgrading from the 20XL to the the 17DIII after hearing the NOS Karat. I would say the biggest weakness of my system at the moment is the lower end... | |
| Benz Glider High Output good upgrade from Aurum Be Some of you mentioned the "Clearaudio house sound", how would you describe it? How does it compare to the Benz "house sound"? | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? I'm seriously thinking of getting a lenco as well, the 103R seems to be a popular choice with this table. I guess I'll have to try it out to see what the fuss is all about. | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? Jj2468 is your Graham/103 mounted on a Lenco as well? | |
| devore fidelity gibbon nines ,need good amplificat I believe John Devore likes to demo these with Shindo gear at the shows. If you like the Leben, you'll probably like Shindo even more. | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II so does anyone know when Jean is returning from Greece? | |
| BAT, ARC, VAC, Shindo? I believe the Corton Charlamange list at $14K for the pair. FWIW, I'm powering my 90dB Super 8s with a puny 15 wpc Montille and I get plenty of spls. | |
| DeHavilland UltraVerve or Shindo Aurieges? I believe the guideline is that the impedance of the amp should be at least 10X the pre, so at 45k its on the borderline.... I believe that my Bedini amp is about 45K Ohms, and it does work with my Aurieges but YMMV. Maybe one of the experts can c... | |
| DeHavilland UltraVerve or Shindo Aurieges? I can't speak for the Dehavilland but everyone that's heard my Aurieges has loved it. Just keep in mind that the impedance on it is quite high, 5,000 Ohms, so you have to be careful about matching amps with it. | |
| Musicality vs Transparency & Detail I agree with mail187445, Shindo gear gives the best of both worlds, very detailed resolution, but yet very musical at the same time. | |
| idler wheel vs direct drive technics impressions Audiohifila: congrats on your new acquisition! I was actually interested in buying that table also but you snagged it just before I did. Anyways, glad it went to a good home and that you're enjoying it. After missing out on it I spent the weekend ... | |
| Lenco plinth? How big is too big? Ralph: I noticed in that 6 Moons article from 2004 that it mentioned that Jonathan Halpern wanted to market a Shindo Plinth for < $1000, does anyone know if that was ever realized? | |
| Help me fix my cartridge So there is a happy end to this story after all! I tried calling the Canadian Distributor of Dynavector and explained my situation. However, when I told them that I bought it used off Agon, they basically said I was SOL, they didn't give a hoot ev... |
