Calling All Ex - Shindo Preamp Owners


Hello,

I am currently using and enjoying my Shindo Masseto preamp, but there is always an eye to see what else is out there. Terribly promiscuous, I know. To be clear, I am not trying in any way to disparage Shindo preamps (they are great), but was  curious whether there are any ex-Shindo preamp owners out here - I would love to get some insight into what convinced you to move on and to which other brand(s) you moved on to (and why). Thank you!

@lalitk looked closely to find out difference btw two perfect amps, Accuphase A-48 is little bit warmer sounding, while P-4500 has deeper/stronger punch. Other-words, A-48 is better for classical/jazz records, and P-4500 is preferable for blues/rock.

After 40yr experimenting with all kind of amps, now I am using Accuphase P-4500 and A-48 (Class A A-48 mostly in colder seasons, it generates some heat). Driving those with perfectly matched in a balanced way C-2420 pre., w/ AD-2820 phono.
