No posts in Shindoland as yet? I feel like a pioneer of sorts.

I confess to owning Shindo and am glad I had the opportunity to get into the land of green thanks to the wisdom of my friendly and helpful Shindo dealer, Don Better, located in Cleveland.

I made the switch from mostly McIntosh about two years ago starting with a Shindo Aurieges preamp, then a Montille amp (6V6 version), and then popped for a Monbrison preamp....YUMMY!

The electronics are pushing a revamped (ALK x-overs) pair of Klipsch LaScalas (1977) from a former beer hall. The Shindo equipment makes the LaScalas sing like never before.

Technics DD turntables (SL1210, SP15, SP25) with Technics, Audio Technica tonearms, and one of Tonearm Audio's 12" cherry arms mounted on a Tonearm Audio cherry plinth spin the 'holy objects' which are read by a Denon DL 103, a Denon DL 103R, and an Ortofon SPU Classic N E.

I still have a couple of pieces of McGear...an MC225 and an MC250; both sounding great after 50 + years and matching well with the Monbrison when I switch gear around.

Anyone on the forum joining me in green??
 
Wow!

I bet Shindo and Klipsch is wonderful. Hmmmmm. Something else to think about now.
 
Joeinid, your Cornwalls are a match made in heaven for Shindo electronics. The Montille amp is 15 watts per channel but sounds like a thousand watts through the LaScalas....and the music is sublime!
 
I would love to hear Shindo gear sometime !! I have always loved the La Scala's, i bet it's a sweet combination !!!!
 
Beavis - congrats. I have heard Shindo and I know the particular magic they make. Extremely impressive, and what I admire most above all is the artful balance they achieve in their 'voice'. Yes, there is warmth...but so too is there real detail (an incredibly low noise floor...aren't they 119db signal to noise??), and so the midrange beauty literally floats out of nowhere...very very cool. I can see why people get into Shindo and never feel the need to leave, or just move up the Shindo lineage. Congrats...that is magic stuff. I went my own way and found my own magic. But I admire and remember the Shindo magic well.
 
Beavis,

We might have very similar ears because I own Shindo too ( Giscours / Corton Charlemagne Q ) and I also have a MC225, DL103.... But no Scala here....
Just a pair of Heresy III which did not pair well with my Apetite but singed wonderfully with the CCQ.
Shindo makes truly magic gear but the 225 is not so far from it. Very very similar.
I wish that McIntosh could produce today what they made in the 60's and 70's. The gear was much more musical. I like modern Mcs a lot. But I'm completely in LOVE with my vintage Mcs.... ( 225, MR77, 2205, MA5100)
 
Expecting Petite Latour

I've had the Giscours, Cortese, and Lafite for a couple of years. The Petite Latour (FC) are ordered and I hope to have them in about 3 weeks. I love the Lafite but I just had an urge to upgrade for some unknown reason.

As to the thread, hopefully the PL's are not green! ;)
 
I like your plane. :)

Do you go upside down a lot?

Before my O/96s I had a pair of LaScla IIs with my Shindo gear. It was an impressive pairing but the Devores are a real step up
