| Preamps for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers I have a S30 (among many other amps) and pair it with a Shindo Vosne-Romanee. Pairing sounds wonderful to me. | |
| Shindo lab pre amps Agree that the Vosne-Romanee is a special piece of equipment. IMO, Art Dudley's review late last year nailed it. I moved from the Masetto to the VR and the level of detail increased tremendously while the tonal quality became slightly darker, more... | |
| Ocellia speakers and power I have Tonian Classic 12's with the PHY-12 inch Driver. The amplification will depend on your room and the type of music you like. I have used 45,2a3,300B,GM-70 SET's, a 15W Shindo Montille (EL-84), an Atma-sephere S30 OTL and a refurbed Dynaco ST... | |
| Different between Shindo Masseto & Monbrison Pres I have a different take. I believe for the most part the Shindo preamps have a similar "house sound" but you basically get more as you move up the line. I first purchased a Masseto and moved up to the Vosne-Romanee. They both are clearly Shindo's ... | |
| Best Pre with a built-n phono section? I've owned many preamps and have no desire to switch since I've owned a Shindo (other than upgrading to higher end Shindos). Expensive but worth it. Hand made and tuned by an Artisan who has been at his craft for over 3 decades. | |
| Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers I was unaware that he had passed. Thank you for the update. I also hope plans were made to keep the PHY product continuing in his absence. | |
| Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers Charles:My understanding is that since Tony is using a Supertweeter the X-over is in the neighborhood of 15Khz. It's seemless because the PHY is essentially running as a full range single driver with the supertweeter adding some sparkle on the ver... | |
| Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers Rsf507:In my case it was because I had the chance to demo the Tonians at a Trade show. Given the amount of $ PHY speakers cost, I could not justify buying one without listening to it first. Since Tony is based in Southern California and is the US ... | |
| Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers Yet another recommendation for a PHY based speaker. If you want true bass down to 38, you probably want to use a speaker with a 12" PHY. The Tonian Classic 12 fits the bill. There are other very good PHY based brands but I've always been drawn to ... | |
| 45 Amps Yes, for the last 7 or 8 years I've owned a 45 AMP. First one was Wavelength Geminia monoblocks and currently have a Yamamoto. You will need efficient speakers and it's probably not the ideal amp for large scale (Mahler or Bruckner)symphonies. Giv... | |
| Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp Just want to chime in and say the AE3 DJH is an excellent affordable preamp for those who want to experience what a nicely built tube preamp has to offer. It does not have a tone of bells and whistles but I consider it excellent value for the mone... | |
| Preamp suggestions Get the entry level Shindo from a dealer. As you have additonal $, you can continue trading up the Shindo line as the dealer trade in credit is extremely generous. Very expensive but IMO worth every penny. | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps I'm a Shindo convert. Yep, they are not cheap (Darn Yen-$ conversion rate) but (and I know it sounds like a cliche), Shindo preamps just sound more like music to me than any other preamp I've tried. My Vosne-Romanee is the heart of my music system... | |
| Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella? Enjoy the Monbrison. I currently have the Vosne-Romanee and it's a joy. It's so nice to finally get off the upgrade merry go round and spend time focusing on the what matters - the music. | |
| Antique Sound Lab 805 DT SETs--WOW Congrats. A lot of people dismiss high powered SET amps but I like them just as much as the flea powered SET's. I had the same reaction when I received my GM-70 amp (38W). Sit back and enjoy. |
