| Small monitors/bookshelves for classical music I hear no stridency or shrillness with my RS-1's, for violin or any other kind of music to which I listen. And I listen to a very wide variety of music genres. | |
| Modern day equivalent for KEF 105/3 speakers I have heard the KEF 105/3 and previously owned a pair of Aerial 10-T's. I much preferred the 10-T's. You might be able to find a good used pair at close to your approximate $1500 price point. But they need a lot of power and they need to be posit... | |
| New to the black plates- looking for TT at 3K A Well Tempered Amadeus will set you back about $2850 new. It includes a phenomenal tonearm. One sold on Audiogon a while back at a price that would allow you to get both the Amadeus and any of several very good cartridges selling new for well und... | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? I used to feel that a preamp had to have a remote if only for the convenience. Then I heard my first Shindo preamp and now could not care less about the lack of a remote. | |

| Shindo pre + buget amp or Leben amp + budget pre That is a very nice system you are putting together!I have a Shindo Aurieges-L in one of my systems and a Leben RS28-CX in another. Both are excellent but I have changed my thinking and now slightly prefer the Shindo to the Leben. I would recommen... | |
| Amplifier for Altec Valencia speakers Unoear - I had a chance to acquire a very nice pair of 16-ohm Valencias about a year ago and foolishly passed on the opportunity. They were being driven with Shindo electronics - the Cortese stereo amp and either the Monbrison or Masseto preamp. I... | |
| Amplifier for Altec Valencia speakers Unoear - Do you have the 16 ohm or 8 ohm model? | |
| Best Tube Pre-Amp under 4K Shindo Aurieges-L. | |
| Cat-proofing your speakers... I realize the OP has asked specifically about how to deal with clawing, but there is another issue with cats, and dogs for that matter - chewing . . . . If I ever figure out a solution, I will certainly share it. | |
| Back to tubes? Allchemie - If you have heard the Shindo Masseto and/or Monbrison, can you please elaborate on your impressions in more detail as to what you believe is better about the Coincident Technology (both linestage and phonostage)? | |
| Back to tubes? A strong 2nd for Shindo! For new gear and no discount, the Monbrison is a bit less than the Ref 5 and the Masseto is a bit more. And with each you get a world class phono stage. | |
| Best Pre with a built-n phono section? Shindo - The best model you can afford. Incredibly musical preamps and phono sections, and minimal heat output. | |

| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions Absolutely agree that Aud 23 ICs are great with Shindo. As for speaker cable, I have found Crystal Cable to be superior to Aud 23 with Shindo amps. Looks a lot better, too. Costly cable, though. |
