Considering Shindo

@ghdprentice thanks for your note. I've heard a bunch of great solid state gear but the tubes always call me back. Shindo + DeVore seems to be a match made in heaven so.i can't wait to give it a go .looks like you are also a headphone kunkey like me. Not enough of us head-fi and two channel folks.

👍😁. 
 

My headphone system sounds like my main system, rich, warm, musical as well as detailed. I love listening to both.

Nice change moving from the Manley to Shindo!  As mentioned above, the Monbrison is generally the "go-to" pre for lots of Shindo setups as it offers a lot of what the uber expensive Shindo pres have sound wise.  But I also really enjoy the Aurieges as much more budget friendly option.

Are you planning on keeping your amp, or switching to Shindo for that as well?

And great choice on the 0/93s!....one of my favorite speakers that I sell.

Thanks for the feedback. The o/93s have landed and they sound fantastic. Lots of body and presence. While I love the sound of SET amps, particularly my 300b monos, I don't think they optimally drive the 93db DeVores so I will probably swap for another power amp. Any recommendations in the Shindo line I should be looking at? 

Montille 391 is nice with the 93s.  

Or if you could luck into finding a pair of the Charlemagne 80s, that's another really fun pairing.
