They are quite different from the Pitch Perfect model also - they carry other types of brands that cater to a wider audience than low-powered tube amps do. While they have the standard Tone Audio stuff and Devore speakers, they also deal in Wilson and Avalon speakers among others, and VTL and Spectral amps. Meaning, they're dealing with everything from flea-watt to mega-watt, so aren't espoused to theory as to what should sound best, but go by their ears. The result is that they tend to stock the push-pull Shindo's more than the SET's in order to match more of their speakers. They also frequently put Shindo pre's in front of VTL amps to handle more difficult loads - there are (relatively) lots of Aurieges and Monbrison's in front of MB125's and ST150's in Montreal homes! |

I have been to CDF several times, and ended up getting my Shindo feet wet there. They are truly a great bunch, and very passionate about audio. When it came time to do a Shindo amp, they did not have any to demo. So I ended up at another Shindo dealer who had what I wanted to hear. This was some time ago (over 3 years), and perhaps it's a little different now. Make no mistake though, these guys know their stuff. Cheers -Don

Indeed- Danny is excellent. Off subject, but my favorite record store is in Montreal. Aux 33 tours over on Mont Royal. I can't even pronounce the name properly, but it is a great shop. I have been to several in NYC, and none of them were quite as good. Pretty cool area over there on St Denis/Mont Royal. Cheers -Don

Getting a bit off-topic here...but for a vinyl/tube guy, we're lucky in Montreal to have CDF (and Danny specifically, who I've been dealing with since his days over at Son Ideal) for gear - and Aux 33 Tours for vinyl! |

a Santiago may be better than a Model 14 is better than though compared to a Model 19, it may be a bit bass light. A Valencia is also a great choice, though may be 16 ohm, so you need to watch that depending on your amp.
