A SHINDO preamp is a keeper in a great sounding system.  |
I've owned the KX-R preamp along with McIntosh C500P and much more affordable Lamm LL2 Deluxe. The KX-R was the clear winner when it came to all things hifi wise. When it came to actual "music" I all too often found myself much more involved and enjoying the all tubed Lamm and sold the KX-R and Mcintosh. Shindo Monbrison and Masseto that I have experienced so far, at least in combination with Shindo amp, take that concept of deep listening and being moved by and engaged by the music to a whole new level.
