I plan to put together Shindo Pre and amp with one of these speaker brands ~ Wolf Von Langa / Horning or Cessaro’s
That is exciting!! Keep us posted on your progression,

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.

@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! |
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. |
having owned many pieces of gear, both SS/tubes old and new, Shindo (for my tastes) is among the best. As some folks have already pointed out, they do have a certain sound signature, therefore may not jive for everyone. I've owned the Shindo Cortese amp and Monbrison Pre feeding Altec 604e speakers. The sound was superb. I sold the amp in hopes of upgrading to another Shindo amp and have been in limbo ever since. They do not often come up for sale and when they do, they don't tend to sell for killer deals. |
