| The Hub: What's that weird green light? Always good seeing you, Bill. And thanks for the kind mention of the Tone Imports/DeVore/Box Furniture room. Cabinet-maker extraordinaire Anthony Abbate is also the proprieter of Box Furniture Company. Anthony was not only gracious enough to hold ... | |
| Dynavector XV1-S and step-up The Shindo 101- from 1979-ish and it was simply a repackaged Triad HS101. Not a Shindo design but pretty good sounding- I have one sitting here on my shelf. But since when do details and facts matter on a forum. We can just piss on lifetimes worth... | |
| Shindo preamps Carey,You just bought an ARC REF 5 according to your other recent thread which is probably the right move for your particular bi-amped system. Shindo is very likely not the right pre-amp for your particular system as a few of my dealers and myself... | |
| Shindo Auriges vs. Cary SLP98 Paul- Imagine if you had at least 3mv:-) Or better yet, a step up transformer with a MC cart for which the MM input is actually intended. The Blackbird, even if you liked it, was definitely not an ideal match even if it played loudly enough. Gain ... | |
| Shindo Auriges vs. Cary SLP98 Slaw3,The Blackbird is a 2.5 mv output cart, this will not work so well with the Aurieges. The Aurieges is a MM preamp which means 3mv minimum. | |
| Coincident Eclipse vs Devore Hi Jetrexpro,That is honestly just the opposite of the sound of the Montrachet and Monbrison. The Montrachet is the most full bodied and rich of all the Shindo amps and all of them are very colorful. Must have been something in the set up. Sorry y... | |
| Shindo preamps Hello Solitare,I thank you for getting a new moniker just to chat about Shindo. I checked your website but couldn't figure out which tube is used in your brands phono.The Claret was the entry level kit pre about 20 years ago. It has little to do w... | |
| Shindo preamps Indeed. Sounds like you received the info from someone completely misinformed. Technically they're completely unrelated.. From tubes to circuit to power supply- not a similarity to be found. | |
| Shindo preamps Hello Fjn04,Designed to sound like a Marantz is definitely not correct. If modern means high resolution and a low noise floor, I think Shindo has you covered. If modern means bright, thin and a spotlit treble, Shindo will not sound modern. From yo... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Hartmut,Thats awesome. Once again your true colors come through via Weisselk. You never stop embarrassing yourself! | |
| Sansui AU-111 vacuum tube amplifier What a load. This guy is full of it. | |
| Best preamp for and EAR890 / ESL57 rig SInce only one person I'm aware of combines a Monbrison with Quads, why not ask him. He actually has heard a Monbrison. look for him here- http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vdone&1070840258And try to listen for yourself. Others opinions ... | |
| Best preamp for and EAR890 / ESL57 rig Giovanni,My preference with Quad 57's is without any subwoofer or crossover. This makes things technically more extended but in my opinion ruins the magic of the original Quad. Balance is the key to a great system and the Quad by itself has balanc... | |
| Best preamp for and EAR890 / ESL57 rig Giovanni,If indeed the load is 9000 ohms as stated above, then like Teajay a Shindo is not suited for your current system. Most tube preamps will not work. If you remove the subs and crossover, which I highly recommend, then many tube preamps will... | |
| DeHavilland UltraVerve or Shindo Aurieges? It works with just about every tube amp I've ever come across. Most tube amps have a 100K ohm input impedance- no problem. Its just not a concern. The alternative to lower the output impedance of a tube pre is add more tubes or add an output trans... |
