Tannoy and Shindo - A Match Made In Heaven?

Paul's Mc CD player wasn't up to snuff. He has things dialed in now.

Amazing that an unknown cd player can change an opinion so much.

From rolled off and poor dynamics to possibly the top 2 systems ever heard, even better than Strad's with top tier gear.

How quickly an opinion can change.

Very interesting.
 
Huh? Where did I say that? Paul mentioned his Mc CD player was rolled off.

What is your problem?

What's the matter, you don't think that a different source can have such a profound effect on the overall sound of a system?

Is it not okay for someone to change their mind a little toward a piece or pieces of gear. Should we all just be stuck in our ways after we turn 30 and bitch and moan about how things aren't like they used to be? Not all of us are here just to chime in every now and then to show what an ass we can be.

Sometimes it could be the source. Could be the cables. Reviewing is hard.

JJ. Let me clear on this.

When first time he came to my house. I didn't have the full shindo gears and No analog set up this was actually first time he heard full shindo gears with proper analog set up. ( you know how good they are together :) )

Also I didn't mention the CD player to you coz Its not mine. anyway it's only an oppo 105 cd player that I borrowing from Mark Jones and the difference is day and night compare to my Mc Cd player. It was rolled off and too warm. Not my liking either Mike.

Also Mike heard the O96 with Allnic int amp on my system
again the problem is my cd player :( it's a Sony cd player (20 yrs old with dollar cable ) the missing information is coming from that source. I was listening last night and as you know how much I love the O96 I agree on his comments. JJ when he comes next time I will let him hear them with full shindo gears with O96 . I'm sure he will change on his first impression and I hope you won't upset about it ;)

Mike was in this industry for a long time and also he's a musician . I do respect him on his opinion.

Also this is world's best friendly audio forum. Please let's keep it that way. Shall we ? :)
 
I have never heard Paul's full Shindo system until last Friday so I don't understand JJ's comment. I heard his Westies prior with McIntosh and Allnic and was very impressed. How impressed? Well, I ordered a pair of Canterbury's on the spot. The Cants didn't stay because of sound but because of space!

But listening Friday at Paul's was full Shindo and full wow. The Shindo gear took the Westies to a whole new level.

So yes, fully broken in Westies (according to Paul), Shindo amp, Shindo preamp, new CD player was wow.

Before making accusations - get your facts straight. But if you don't think a Shindo amp, Shindo preamp and new source would have that much of an impact, then you're missing something.

Thank you Paul. I was beginning to think I was going crazy!

Let's take the Oppo upstairs and connect it to the O/96's next time I'm over (probably this coming Sunday since I'm flying back to Canada on Saturday)?

Of cause Mike let's have fun with Orangutan.

Back to this topic.

I absolutely love my Westies and shindo sounds together !!!
 
Paul, you mean you haven't blown that little green amp up yet trying to drive those inefficient speakers with their 15" drivers?
I'm glad you've been able to put together your own system, with your own ideas of gear and have it work so well together.
If the Montille sounds terrific with the Westies I wonder how something like a CCQ would sound?

Ha! I guess my speakers are not shindo worthy.

I love the synergy together .... actually JJ should take the credit coz he was the one who let me hear the full shindo gears in his beautiful home. Thank you

Sadly the CCQ is no longer available and I was really hoping to hear them.
 
haha!!! if Mike says shindo is incredible with westies, i for one am a believer, guys owned more gear and speakers than i have albums.
maybe you guys should step out of the line and think for yourselves and go hear other gear mixed in with yours not just blindly follow the leader, and buy what he tells you to buy, you may find that is a more pleasurable experience. and not be so damn critical or take it so personal when someone doesnt agree with your opinion. geez im here to learn about all things audio not defend my purchases. you should try it!!!

If you like the look of the McIntosh CD player and it still functions, would you consider just trying different DAC's with it. A while back Mark had a very good W4S DAC 2 for a good deal. There should be a lot of options in your area to try with those. Maybe Adrian has the W4S that you can try.

Thank you Jack. Good idea I was thinking about the Bryston BDA or Allnic DAC

Very nice, PP use of 300B gives you some power with all the good things the 300B brings. Built really well. I'm putting some Melody 845 Monos in tomorrow.

arthurs- the 845C tube works well in the Melodys. it will take the power down a few watts though.
 
Got shipping notice today that Purity Audio Design are sending me their 300B monos and Reference preamp, I've heard this combo before on Acoustic Zen speakers and it was sublime, can't wait to hear it in my room with the Westies...
 
Congrats Art!

Looking forward to your impressions.

Thanks Mike, I just realized I'm over-saturating myself with demos, but I'm over the moon for the Westies and it has me wanting to pair them with the right setup and I don't think my Dartzeel is it, so might as well listen to all this gear while people are willing to let me. I will definitely post impressions.

Bill Baker of Purity Audio Design/Response Audio is a really one of the good guys. I have dealt with him off and on for almost 15 years since when he was the largest Jolida dealer in the U.S. His own gear is well thought of.
 
Jack, I know Bill and Joe of Purity really well and couldn't agree more. I have watched them evolve the Purity brand and designs and think they have some real winners here, can't wait!
