I'm trying to get some information on the early Apetite using cv428 tubes. From what I've learned so far, in Europe this model was sold as a kit. Was it also sold assembled by Shindo in Europe? On European audio websites, I sell this amp selling for $1250 to $2800. I suspect the price range might be the difference between kits vs. factory assembled.
In 2004, Tone Imports bought a few of these Apetite models assembled by Shindo. The model was then discounted. A few years later, Shindo resurrected the name for an integrated amp using the 6v6 tubes.
Does anyone here own a Shindo integrated amp? If so, how do you like it and how does it compare to Shindo separates?
And any idea on these units sold for originally?
Thanks,
Russ
