Why are Voodoo Cables not seen on Audiogon used?
Well, Dayglow I do have a Blue Circle USB Thingee that is quite old. Had it for many years before computer audio was the craze. Just wanted something a little better than the output from my Mac Pro. 
Why are Voodoo Cables not seen on Audiogon used?
I guess there may be several reasons as stated above. I just wondered what the consensus was among members. It is funny about the name really. I didn't like it or the looks of the cables, but when I let my ears do the listening the choice was easy... 
Shindo advice
I haven't observed what you mentioned.I went from a Monbrison to a Vosne-Romanee. Really can't go wrong with the Monbrison. I wouldn't sweat it; just go for it and if later you want more of what Shindo creates, go ahead and step up in the line. Wo... 
CD for Shindo System?
Because Shindo makes a "CD Munching Transformer" to help mate a CD source with their preamps, they must use some digital source as a reference. I myself use a GNSC Opus 21 with Shindo gear and it is superb. 
Shindo Reliability
Tim1,I understand as I was there over two years ago wondering the same. The musical enjoyment derived from Shindo gear is astounding and I'll never look back. The importer is strong and Japan is not that far away if you needed work done. The world... 
Dedicated Lines & Power Conditioners
Micro-arcing. Yes, I've experienced it with tube pins so why not with other connections. 
Shindo and synergistic components
Whew! Describe the character of the Haut-Brion. What vintage? This is tough because I just listen and enjoy music without the burden of analysis. It is what drew me to Shindo.I could not do it justice, so sorry. Go have a lsiten for yourself.No, I... 
Shindo and synergistic components
CSA Audio in Montclair, NJ. The combo was a Giscours/LP70 I believe with Wilsons. So, CSA has some interesting combinations and then across the river in the city is In Living Stereo where you can hear all Shindo with Verity. 
Shindo and synergistic components
Hatari, I went for the Monbrison and Haut-Brion w/Auditorium 23 speaker cables. This combo drives the Fidelios with ease. While my room is "largish" in volume, it is lively. I've been careful to acoustically treat it with the help of ASC without s... 
Shindo and synergistic components
I had my cake and ate it too!Didn't realize you have Parsifals.I have Verity Fidelio Encores with a 20W Shindo and it's a wonderful combination. Have you heard Shindo amps with your speakers? If not, you might be pleasantly surprised. The Fidelio’... 
Shindo and synergistic components
I'd encourge you to listen to a Shindo pre and power amp connected with a Shindo interconnect as the most synergistic combo and if the speakers you have don't work out, replace them. 
Resoution Audio or Electrocompaniet!!!!
I've been lsitening to the CD55 for alomost a month and can say it competes well with all the top units that go for 2-3X as much $$$. Let me just say that in the interest of conservation of characters, cold out of the box, my wife commented that i...
