Tone of Shindo

Had Aurieges Line... was bought from Audiogon because of all the huge hype and quickly sold-not transparent enough and with greatly overriped bass. It was great relief returning to real good preamp(DIY  from gold hands of my dear friend).

On a less expensive thought, you should listen to Leben.

Shindo is system based, and generally Shindo preamps and amps match best together than trying to pair with other brands.

If by "correct" you mean "that I like and think is good based on commonsense criteria," then, of course.

If you mean correct in any other sense, I have no idea what you're talking about.

What a question.

I can think of at least a dozen, some for far less money.

Very colored preamp and very overpriced.
