for best lp sound, Kondo or Shindo?

I heard the Dartzeel and thought it was very mediocre despite the reviews and promotion. I just don't get why someone would want transistors when tubes sound so much better.

Tubegarden: Where did you hear the darTZeel that left you with that impression?

Hello

I have heard the Shindo pre's and would recommend them if you like what they sound like. I would recommend you go and listen for yourself. The products are built well and well supported if bought from a dealer of Shindo, which there are more than enough across the US to demo.

These forums are great to exchange opinions but that is all they are, YOU need to listen for yourself.

BTW the Shindo table is fantastic.

You're implying that the Shindo preamps have a sound. Care to elaborate?

HI Owl

Every component has "ITS" own sound. What ever neutral is I do not know.
They sound good to me do thing right across the requencies with good tone and texture which are thing I tend to like more now than say ultra hi definition setup, where everything in the soundstage id defined and details that are never ending down to the guy scratching his head in the audience, if you know what I mean.

I heard the system with the Shindo Garrard in a full Shindo system.
