Many a man has said - "don't mess with Shindo kit"

[Pronan]

Hi everyone,

Wanted to start a general discussion on what people think is an acceptable level of tinkering with the out of the box Shindo delivery. Over the past 12 months of reading on this very knowledgeable forum and its excellent members there seems to be a feeling that, for some of you, one should not mess with the masters work. For example:

Some comments with strong conviction:
The choice of tubes should not be changed
The power cord is best sourced from Shindo

Some comments with less conviction:
Place amps on hardwood platforms
Shindo interconnects and speaker cable are the best match

Personally I have tried several high end power cords and not had any improvement (tonal change yes but not a quality uplift), however I am willing to try tube rolling (got some Shuguang Treasure KT88-Z on the way)

Thoughts?
