Shindo vs the world I have had two Shindo Appetite amps. I liked the sound. My only problem was the availability of tubes. From what I could gather, all the Shindo approved tubes are hoarded by dealers and if you didn't buy the amp from them you are out of luck as t... | |
What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? Sadly, Audio snobbery pushed me to purchase almost entirely on the internet. I used to work in a record store/audio retailer in the 70s. Back then it was fun and about the music. Over time it became almost a competition for audio stores/salesmen... | |
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? Tito’s is what I keep in my freezer, although I’m primarily a beer drinker. Wyborowa Polish Vodka is very good | |

Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 You should look at NSMT 15SE. They are built and sold out of North Carolina. Fabulous speakers that work with most all amps, certainly yours. I use them with a Naim NAIT 2...20 watts/channel. $1995 list factory direct | |

Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? Another vote for Marantz++ | |
