| So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy! if you are really looking for a world class Tube Pre.. 1) upper end of the Shindo line. Voshnee Romanee from Shindo is sublime. Includes an amazing phono section. At slightly lower price, the Shindo Masseto. The Shindo Giscours is also great.2... | |
| Anyone familiar with Air Tight ATM-1S? I have LOTs of experience with AirTight el34 based amps. They are outrageously good.my favorite is the ATM-3 mono blocs. but the 1s is nice. Just not the ATM-3 performance. NOTE: I am thinking about the prior version of the ATM 3's. not the n... | |
| Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B Dinho,Airtight is not better built. They have a different aesthetic, but not better. I have owned both Airtight and Shindo. both are well built. But Shindo is a bit better. I have opened up both and looked carefully at the wiring and layouts.... | |
| Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B Dear Dinho, SHINDO!!NOTE: I also love AirTight. I have owned both. AirTight is very good. Shindo is just better. Note: I ran a shindo preamp (Shindo Monbrison then later upgraded to a Shindo Massetto) with AirTight ATM-3 Monoblocks and Quad sp... | |

| Best preamp with built in phono stage? but if you have the dollars to spend on the 28k Atma, by all means, look into the upper end Shindo like the Voshnee. sailboat | |
| Best preamp with built in phono stage? I would STRONGLY suggest looking into a Shindo Monbrison or Shindo Massetto. a few times a year one of those two models comes up on Audiogon used. I have seen Monbrison's for 4.5k - 8k. Seen the Massetto for 6.5k - 10kBoth have truly exceptiona... | |

| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) if you are patient, you can find a great Shindo in that price range. A few Monbrison and Massetto models (both including a great phono stage) sell here on Audiogon in your prices every year. you won't find a better tube pre. Shindo's are except... | |
