Jmcgrogan2 - Thank you for your comments. I was pretty sure there was not an impedance problem, less sure about gain. It is my understanding that the gain on the Shindo is fixed and that the gain on the GamuT, both the stereo amp and the monoblocks, is adjustable to three different levels. Of course, finding out what those specific gain levels are and whether or not one of those levels would allow the Shindo and GamuT to shake hands well without in-line attenuators has been challenging so far. As you so correctly pointed out, neither of those companies, especially GamuT, publishes much in the ways of specs.
Shindo & GamuT - Comments?
I am considering an upgrade to my primary system - I would like to pair a new Shindo Vosne-Romanee preamp with a new GamuT D200i stereo amplifier. I love Shindo preamps and the V-R is the best one I can afford. And I am very pleased with the amplification of my GamuT D150i integrated, which I would trade or sell to get the D200i. But I have concerns about compatibility of the V-R and D200i in terms of impedance and gain. Can any of you offer guidance, either based on actual experience with this combination of components, or based on your knowledge of impedance and gain matching between preamps?
