Shindo stuff on the latest Stereophile and the Shindo love-fest on AA

[PHC1]

I was told the Lafon GM70 is $22k. The Giscours is in fact $30k.

Yikes. Unfavorable exchange rates strikes again.

Serge,

A little education please - or the "Shindo" fans can chip in.

I went to the website BUT cant tell which is what - meaning, which gear is at the entry and then stepping up. The names sound so ..... like WINE. Sorry, I am not good at deciphering words. Limited vocab.

Any particular meaning in the names of the exquisite pieces? Girlfriends, occasions, places of interest or something like that?

Cheers!

Jerry, I believe all the preamps and most the amps are in fact named after wines, wineries/chateaux. Perhaps the small integrated "Apetite" is not, maybe it's "Bon Apetite"

Yes, www.toneimports.com is helpful. Top to bottom, best to more affordable.
