I'll try to leave something to talk about in future posts but I owned the Monbrison before the Vosne-Romanee. Before the Sinhonias I owned the Haut Brion and the Cortese. Before the Shindo 301 I owned a Garrard 301 with 12" Ortofon arm and Ortofon SPU-A gold. Do you see a pattern here?  The reason I settled on the Sinhonias is because of the additional power which allows me to use them with a wide variety of speakers. For me, Shindo amps all sound similar, its the power rating and speaker matching you must pay attention to. And the biggest challenge has definitely been finding the right speaker! I've used a lot speakers with my Shindo gear over the years: Altec Valencias (stock form and with non-Shindo field coils (long story) ), Devore Nines, Harbeth 40.1, Zu Audio Druid MkIV, Tonian Acoustics TL-D1 MkII and Totem Arros. I'm currently using a pair of Salk Archos. They are high-efficiency, very well balanced and throw a HUGE soundstage. I know the easiest solution would be to buy a pair of Shindo speakers and be done with it. I assume that is eventually what will happen but I'm enjoying the journey!

Oh boy this is gonna get confusing, we have two new members, Pai Mei and Old Grey, with the latter using Pai Mei (from
Kill Bill) as his avatar. Interestingly I also use the image of Pai Mei as my avatar on other forums, but for some reason I decided to switch to Frank Zappa on a whim. Lots of Tarantino fans here methinks?
