Shindo and Joule Electra Preamps
For what it is worth, I traded in a JE lap150 toward a shindo monbrison.I compared both at my dealers store and the JE was very veiled/rolled off and completely lacking in lower register harmonics and resolution. ie. mushy bass syndrome. I knew th... 
Anyone here compare the Leben CS300 to the CS600?
Jaybo, where have you heard leben to make such a silly statement? 
Why does the Marantz 10B Tuner sound so amazing ???

Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella?
Batteries belong in flashlights. 
Would I benefit from a headphone amp?
I think you would still be using the onboard headphone amp if you used an outboard amp to further increase the amplification of the headphones. Unless you have difficult headphones to drive, I don't feel this would be beneficial.K

Putting a price on a specific speaker design type does not make sense and is simply silly. In my years of being an audiophile (since 1955) there have been many designs through the years, that despite being a two way, single driver, or what have yo...

Amazing how you guys can make judgements on something you have not heard. I heard them at CES, and they were simply wonderful.KeithR-Many Audio Note speakers are well over the price of the orangutan, by the way.K
