Long time since last post here in this topic but let’s try
I found Audioaficionado as a place where Shindo fans have their own place.
Many information about Shindo products and advices. Read almost all. Really nice to see that!
Few weeks ago I got my first contact with Shindo.
I was looking for a pre for my AirTight ATM-211 mono blocks. I spent hours, hundreds of hours to get something special, trying to get best of them.
Matching AirTight, Lamm, Leben, Reimyo, CAT, New Audio Frontiers, some diy 45 DHT tube preamplifiers - it was a great time but...having read about Shindo many times I decided to give it a try when I saw an old Aurieges for sale.
What you All can expect it was one of those moments which you are looking for in our hobby. After few hours I knew I found something special.
I am using only line input for my ARC CD, so not the best what Shindo is known for but those two green small boxes just gave me a hope that there are still exceptions, that there are products that connect you with music instead of something trying to pretend it. Strong words but almost everything sounded artificial when compared with entry level of Shindo.
