I imagine the Shindo Giscours would make beautiful music with it. I'm replacing my VAC Ren 70/70 with the Phi next week. The Ren loves Shindo.
Best Preamp For VAC PHI 300.1
Anyone compare the Allnic 5000 to VAC Signature Mark 2 or Coincident preamp. They all have interstage transformers instead of coupling caps. I now am using an ARC REF 2 Mark 2 and am not happy with the sound. It seems transparent but lean and bright. I would like more warmth and bass weight. I doubt the new ARC REF 5 competes with the above.
