Shindo vs the world

Shindo keeps coming up as a highly responded brand with incredible products that have great sound quality. My question only to prior owners is do you still have your shindo amp or preamp? If not why did you sell and also did you find something else you liked better? What about something cheaper that you liked more.

Thank you @ghasley.  The pairing makes sense and bet it’s sublime.  

I plan to put together Shindo Pre and amp with one of these speaker brands ~ Wolf Von Langa / Horning or Cessaro’s.

@lalitk Having heard both Shindo and Wolf Von Langa you're on a great track there! And to the OP my one friend who had a full Shindo system sold it to help fund opening a restaurant. So it's not always something better that necessitates a sale!

WVL are indeed very special. I honestly believe either of the aforementioned speaker brands would make a sublime pairing with Shindo’s Western Electric 300B Single Limited mono’s. I plan to have Shindo’s ship to my dealer before I finalize my speakers.

Stereophile reviewer Ken Micallef---like Art Dudley (apparently everyone’s favorite deceased hi-fi critic ;-)---owns Shindo electronics and DeVore loudspeakers. At one point the two swapped Shindo pre-amps, each liking the others’ pre-amp more than their own in their system.

Shindo is a brand known for a "certain" type of sound, and those who like it are also fond of the sound idler wheel turntables. I don’t think both being musicians (Art a guitarist, Ken a drummer) is not unrelated to their fondness for that sound.
