I have read most of the posts on this site on the shindo forum so I do know that WE300b is not the way to go, but what is the best amp for O/96s ?
P.S: Apologies for adding to this thread, it seems I don't have the privilege on this site to start a new thread.

Hi Essrand,
Most Shindo owners, Mr. Dudley included would say that the hierarchy lies with the preamps in that you get "more" as you climb toward the Petrus summit. With the power amps it's more about different flavors. I have an el34 Montrachet that I used with my old 0/96's which was a great combo. I also briefly listened to the Cortese 300b with them at In Living Stereo in NYC but was too short to give a detailed opinion. Never heard the F2A version
