I agree 100% with the earlier comments regarding the VR.

I owned the VR for about 6 months and definitely loved what it did for vocals among other things.

I was looking for more detail and a larger sound stage so I traded the VR for my friends Giscours preamp + some cash (whats a few grand between friends).

The difference in my system, in my room, was simply amazing. Alot more resolution especially in the base and mid-base, plus a huge sound-stage. Definately worth the $$.




System Includes: Shindo GM-70's Monoblocks, Shindo Giscours preamp, Coincident Pure Reference Speakers, Shindo Silver interconnects, Kubala Sosna Elation speaker cables, Lampizator Level 4 DAC, Naim Hard Drive Server, Shunyata power cords with Triton AC conditioner.

Hi Labpro,

That's some serious equipment you are carrying. You will fit in well here with the heavy hitters. I see you have the Lampizator level 4. I demoed one of those a couple months ago good stuff. I also got to listen to the Shindo Massetto and VR. I can only image how great the Giscours sounds. My dealer loves it...
