Thanks Jonathan for bringing this in-all-compass-point-fleeing-discussion back to solid experience talk.
Somebody with deep experience once told me that Ken Shindo "thinks in chains", not in individual components. Using the same cable, be it Shindo or A23, throughout the whole chain, from the source (MC cartridge or CDP) over transformer and amplifiers to the loudspeakers, brings a lot.
I use A23 cables from A to Z and I am perfectly happy with this. My Shindo silver cables rest quietly in the drawer...and I am not getting nervous at all ;-)
As far as I know, A23 cables are also applied in Shindo systems (or chains:-) in Japan.
My humble opinion: Shindo and A23, two cables, two personalities, not two worlds.
Riesling or Chardonnay ? ... just be shure to choose the best winemakers!
