Living Voice for Shindo?

Cortes,
Amplifiers 'rated' at the same watts can in reality be so very different when it comes driving speakers.The Transformatic 300b is a true beast with huge premium transformers and an ultra over built power supply.I still have my Audio Prism Debut amp,35 watts push-pull.This is a good amp yet it`s out driven by my 8 watt 300b amp without question.
The 300b amp is much heavier(nearly double the weight) and has larger transformers and a much beefier power supply.

Robust design and power supply mean more than test bench power ratings.

Charles1dad,
I had this conversation with Andy at Vintage Tube Services. He too eschewed power ratings, and told me that when he wants to know how powerful an amp is he simply (or not so) lifts it up.

Hi Phaelon,
I`ve purchase tubes from Andy, he knows his stuff and has top quality product(you can also trust him).

One of the best sounds I have ever heard in my entire life was a Shindo/Living Voice System. It had an accuphase cd player. It was at In Living Stereo in NYC, probably 10 years ago. I have never forgotten the sound, I mean, the way I felt when I heard the sound.
