Thread: Where's all the Shindo owners?

Mike,
Start with a Giscours preamp.
After that, when you'll discover the wonders it delivers, you'll buy the amps, the speakers...
I have very very hard time to stop the music of my Shindo system and go to bed....

I'm very tempted Jerome. I'm rethinking things indeed.

Mike,
Do not be tempted.
Dive into the water.
You'll see : we all breathe better there !

Maybe little off the topic. But had to ask again here. Anybody done the direct comparison with the Shindo VS Allnic ?

it would be tough to do in the u.s. since there are only 2 allnic dealers. for me id have to hear them in n.y. for shindo then drive to n.j. for allnic. and that is close by, for most this would be impossible unless they have both in their house. but i would be curious to the outcome of that as well. from just what ive heard the shindo give you an old school feel to the sound. when i listen to allnic it seems to be a new twist on 300b's. but that is just the amps or integrated ive never heard a full allnic setup or a full shindo setup. so i could be way off.
and i wouldnt rule out sophia electric either, i think they can compete in this league.and are priced very nicely.

That's exactly how I felt.The shindo was more laid back sound with totally neutral flavor however the Allnic gives you little more wide sound range all around.

If I had known of the new super SHL5, I might have ordered them too.

I had them all

I was told of some woofer basket backorder problem. It has been 6 weeks already and probably 6 more before I see them. I don't like it but I have to wait. Both in rosewood finish.

yea hopefully you move them to the jersey shore

It's okay with me Steve

I will post updates of my system here soon.

If you have another story feel free to share it.

For that matter I would gladly share the same story at AA but I was banned so I can't!

I will point out that Matt is a paying member and a dealer of Devore so it seems really odd to me that the manufacture cannot answer a question in a form that has his name on it.

The part that I really hated was that Dan edited the posts but left no trace that he did it. If he wrote "edited by moderator" it would have made sense. He did not and it made John posts convey the wrong message.

Chris, I believe you. Now even me cannot access their site (as of today). And I got nothing to do with it and nothing to do with their entire site since I've been gone; over a year ago!
Someone must be interpreting things (dreams) in his own head.

Now, where are all them Shindo owners?

Really bob! That is odd. You in Victoria? I hope to post my set up photos soon.

Yes really. ...Very odd indeed. ...Some paranoia?

Yeah, Victoria's countryside (very short drive).

* I like the one of your avatar.

Yeah that is my garrard. Will give details about the spectacular plinth some time soon.

Cool.

Welcome to the forum omodo!

I do not agree.
Vanilla and chocolate ice creams are very different. I
enjoy both.
High End sound systems are different flavors.
We can enjoy many of them.
Of course, we can end up with a clear preference when we find the system that truly makes our soul vibrate. But the path may be long.
What matters is to have fun along the pathway.
We're all going to the same place.

Thanks Damian. I need to take some higher quality pictures... need Matt's expertise. The PL are all I hoped they would be, and getting better as they get some hours on them.

I still love the wood on you Latour, though. Very striking! You should post a few pictures.

How comes you can enjoy both sounds, they are as dissimilar as a Rolls and a Lamborghini (once again, won't say which is what) or a Metallica gig and Bach cantatas (same disclaimer)?
Just thought that your experience allowed you to define your priorities by now...

Just to clarify, the Raidho system isn't going anywhere. The Raidho's are in my family room. In that room, I have tried Revel, Sonus Faber, Magico S5. The Raidho's, by far, work the best.

I have already purchased speakers for my main room (Spatial Statements). If they don't work out, I get my money back and will explore other options at that time, including Harbeth.

My experiences are helping me narrow in on speakers which should work better in my difficult main listening room. The design of the Spatial Statements should lend itself well to better integration into that room.

Mike

Hey loops! Great to finally see some photos of your sweet system! Fantastic speakers. What drivers are in the PLs?

Has anyone heard the new Partager preamp? New this year, apparently it sits between the Aurieges and the Monbrison. Any idea of price?

Chris, I have not yet opened the back to look, but both appear to be Altec. They have been refurbished and modified by Shindo to field coil. The drivers are different than Stephen's PL on Matt's site. His short review is what has held my attention for a couple of years and I feel he hit the nail on the head.

My pictures are not very good and really do not show how stunning the wood cabinets turned out.

Thanks!

Ok wise Shindo ones, what Shindo amp/preamp would you recommend for my new speakers (the statement model here: http://www.spatialaudio.us/lumina/)

I know this means no remote, moving my rack and going single ended....but I'm open to new ideas.

Mike I think you need to get the speakers in and listen to them first before making a decision on this. The woofers have their own amp, the midrange is passive which leaves the tweeter in need of amplification. Will this allow the true Shindo sound, or any other amp of this type, to be heard? If you go SET will 10-15 watts be enough power? On paper it looks good with the speakers ratings but real world could be different. I say hook up what you have now to them and find out if they will take care of that room issue. If they do, then start from there.

That's the plan Doug.....I'm just dreaming a little.

Careful Steve, you might end up with D'ags.

So far after 4 days with the 300B amp. I'm still prefer my 275. ( this might change when I get better tubes for 300B)

The 75 watts (KT88) gives more fuller sound with bigger stage. But I do have to admit that 300B gives pretty voice tone.

Someone can chime in ? How is the 6V6 sounds ?

Paul, I like the 6V6 sound. Rich, creamy, linear tube. Not quite the midrange magic as an EL34 but I find it has a tighter, more prominent bottom end. The highs are decent too.
