Shindo pre with non shindo power amps
An anybody recommend any good amp pairings to sit in between a shindo giscours and some horns. Price range around 12k dollars.
Thanks in advance for ideas.

Is there any reason you don't want a Shindo amp to pair up with the amazing Giscours? For 12K, you can get some very good Shindo amps. All of them will work with the horns.

Agree on that...Cortese, Haut Brion, Montrachet, even the little Montille.

I find myself in no mans land, based in Suisse with European suppliers that can't bring shindo into the EU. It has been a few months now and no more 220v amps have appeared for second hand sale and I'm getting impatient. :-( The giscours sounds great going into a low end gryphon stereo amp (4k entry model from Denmark's best SS amp company) but I'm curious to open out the music a bit more, have been eyeing the audio note amps on Audiogon. To be honest I've been eyeing many an amp, just curious to let the giscours breath more freely.

Pronan,
I would take a SERIOUS look at Lukasz Fikus' new creation over at Lampizator. He's got a GM70 mono product that he is releasing, and it looks amazing. He's got a good and growing rep with his DAC, so I would expect something similar here. Well worth the look! Since we're not allowed to post links or else face banning, I would encourage you to simply search for Lampizator. It's in the .EU. He's even got some photos up on the site - find the link for the amplifiers in the lower right corner of his link banner. If you get a pair, PLEASE share your experience. Lukasz is NOT distributing these to the US at this time. So sad... Last edited by FranklinLG; 09-17-2012 at 09:59 PM. |

If you really want to keep the Giscours, I would wait until you can get a Shindo amp. Pairing a high end Shindo pre to another brand's power amp just doesn't sound right to me.
Perhaps you can get a used tube amp for now and sell it later for not much loss. |

I may have a good solution for you but we need to talk by PM or email. I'm in Paris.

Thanks for the tip, had a look at the site, feels a bit mad scientist (which for me is a good thing) and I've reached out to the guy. More info as I find out.
