LEBEN CS600 OR CS300X
Leben sweeter than Shindo- subjective but I'd say a definite no to my ears. Shindo made for Jazz and Classical as opposed to what- made for rock or heavy metal? Weird statement.DeVore uses Leben? And Shindo and LM.LM compared to those others- Subj... 
Shindo pre + buget amp or Leben amp + budget pre
Impedance info incorrect. Speak to your dealer for correct information or questions on matching specific amps. Jonathan 
Shindo Cortese - First Impressions
Kharl,And I thought I was the only one that saw the full "transparency" of Mr. Anselm. Alberto- glad you're enjoying the Cortese, I wish you many more 12 hour listening sessions. Jonathan 
Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps
"honest A/B"No such thing imho. A system is a system and needs to be tuned and set up carefully which takes time- more time than an A/B allows. Plus, in your system we'd only learn what your amps + pre-amp + speakers + source + cables + your room ...

Pdreher,I think you misread the post.Agear,Yes, I have found an approach that works for me and many of our clients. Nothing is for everyone and their is no doubt more than one satisfying approach. I started into this hobby trying to get closer to ... 
Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps
No, I'm the distributor. Click on Latinsamaba1's system and you'll see he didn't opt for anything mentioned... I've heard thousands of systems at shows, shops and in customer systems but I would be quite cautious making any presumptions about soni...

He didn't have Shindo in his rig. He's talking about hearing things in different stores. Just typical forum behavior. 
Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps
" I presume it was due to an impedance/system matching issue or long ICs."That would be a poor assumption as the Vosne-Romanee has output transformers and a 600 ohm output impedance. 
EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different?
I guess your opinion of "stuck" and "so so" is also quite subjective. I kinda remember the TSD15 was your or one of your favorite cartridges at one time or am I mistaken? The 997i is standard mount i.e. square pins, can work with most good cartrid... 
EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different?
JonathanThe "poor 997" happens to be a very good arm. Of course things are always subjective but to call it "poor" can only mean you've heard a very worn out or improperly set up example. And those early Ortofon's, if reconditioned properly, are q... 
Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella?
Doesn't surprise me Paul:-) I see the same misinformation repeated over and over on forums- mostly by non-Shindo owners without any real knoweledge of the product. I suppose they're simply repeating what they've read in yet another misinformed pos... 
Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella?
Everybody is an expert... If you want answers about proper or improper matches, just email. Asking questions, especially of a technical nature, on forums result in poor and often incorrect info. And many times answers with an agenda.The input impe... 
Shindo Latour Speakers
11flat6,If you had emailed either myself (Tone Imports) or Pitch Perfect, you would have received a reply within a reasonable time frame- say within 24 hours on a weekday and 48 hours on a weekend excluding holidays or travel related absences. I c...

"Finally, I am aware that the performance of the products in question may differ substantially with other cartridges and systems so my ranking is a subjective opinion within the parameters of my system, room and musical tastes."I'm glad to see you... 
what should i keep, shindo or mcintosh
"Shindo is getting good reviews but that does not mean success and a long market life."... Shindo has been in business since 1974 with Shindo Laboratory Inc being formed in 1977. While I can not predict the future, I'd say the track record shows t...
