Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella?

The Shindo is a more musical preamp with a richer sound then the Red Wine, however, you have to way if the system is going the right direction, the Devores are not exactly bright sounding speakers either.

I am really surprised that so many audiophile here do not know that there is an American made, modern preamp which has remote volume which offers the same sonic qualities of the Shindo, and it is less expensive to boot! The Manley 300b preamp which I would urge you to hear, I have one and it rocks!

Yes, if price is a concern, $hindos is certainly pricey. If so, Manly would be a very viable alternative, no doubt. If not... Doshi Alaap.

Audiofreakgeek, Shindo sounds like Shindo. Nothing else sounds like Shindo. I know of no other brand that has a house sound so ubiquitous through the product line.

Paul, which Shindo preamp would you recommend?

Sorry, Paulfobrecht, but the Manley 300b preamp sounds like a Shindo. I am not talking about the Manley amps, but the preamp does.

The 300b preamp uses obviously 300b tubes which gives the preamp a very dimensional and very flowing organic presentation which is the Shindo sound, no other preamp I know sounds like the Manley 300b preamp, ARC,BAT,CJ etc do not sound like this preamp, please go find one and listen to it and see for yourself.
