Shindo vs the world

Since the title is "Shindo vs the world" and ask "something else you liked better?"

ghasley The Meishu Tonmeister and Shindo gear are both wonderful amplifiers, I’ve owned both, BUT they sound nothing alike.

Both amps sound great. They have least veil sounds from unnatural sound systems. I think WT sound is comparable.

You are welcome @smodtactical and as always @charles1dad thank you for the kind words.

@mihorn is there a thread where you won’t shill your speakers?

I still have my Haute Brion, Vosnee Romanee, and Latour 604 speakers.   This ended my search and I have no desire to upgrade or chase a different rabbit at this time.  This combination works best in a medium to large room.  Currently the system is in a smaller space than is ideal, but it sounds very good nonetheless.  Speaker placement, relative to room and listener, is the most important thing.

Since Kondo (Audionote) and Shindo are covered let’s add Wavac to the discussion. The EC300b design by Nobu Shishido is arguably the greatest 300b amp ever conceived and its interstage capacitorless transformer coupling creates an immediacy that in my experience isn’t available elsewhere. Wavac’s preamps are the rarest of beasts and if you run horns its passive ATT-S is again hard to beat. As far as speakers are concerned other than those mentioned Auditorium23 and Teresonic are worth a listen.
