| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions Plinko- how was the Montrachet? | |
| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions Thanks Alberto. I borrowed a Montille from Matt and it was a fun amp, but always have wanted to hear a Cortese. Your review is helpful! | |
| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions I really don't understand this:"My entire system (including cables) and room treatment, had been chosen and designed to deal with harsh or excessive treble from lesser recordings." which you say are 30% of your listening.so you are trying to solve... | |
| Best Integrated amp for Wilson Audio Sasha Raquel- Interesting Dart doesn't post links to those reviews on it's own website. I wonder if that is due to JA's less than enthusiastic measurements. Dob- I don't know what you are saying, but the speaker is not particularly easy to drive. Please... | |
| Best Integrated amp for Wilson Audio Sasha JTinn- I looked on the Dart website and there are no specs or mainstream reviews, so I will defer to you. Raquel- Sashas efficiency is misleading. They spend most of there time below 4 ohms with some tough phase angles---this isn't a 90db flat 8oh... | |
| Best Integrated amp for Wilson Audio Sasha I don't know about the integrated---just going back from memory on the stereo amp, in which multiple reviews said lower impedances weren't its thing (I believe Mike Lavigne told me that as well a long time ago). That would lead me to hesitate on s... | |
| Best Integrated amp for Wilson Audio Sasha for Sasha? I don't think Sashas will run correctly on a Dart or integrated in general.You need Sophias if you want to use an integrated. The Sasha is difficult to drive correctly. | |

| Tubes for Shindo Aurieges L The whole point of Shindo is you don't have to tube roll. Ken uses vintage parts and NOS tubes throughout. You are looking at the preamp the wrong way---if you really want to roll, switch to a Cary SLP98 or something. | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? I'll add on to the folks that the VAC Standard isn't a terribly great preamp. It seemed cloudy to me and not very tube like. Renaissance is clearly different.Kevin's pricing has gotten up there imo as well. Everything he releases now is 10k+ | |
| Cardas Cold Forging No, I don't have to prove sound quality is worth the $400. It in no way should cost near $400 to have this type of re-termination.Zu cold forges their interconnects which cost 100 bucks on sale. | |
| Best tube mono blocks under $15,000? Keep your 501s. | |
| Cardas Cold Forging You really think 400 bucks to reterminate is reasonable?? That is highway robbery for a few spades."cold forging" has been done by numerous companies for some time. its nothing new. | |
| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? He's only 16?!?The negativity on this thread is unbelievable. I guess he should just pack it up and go work for McDonald's instead. He has no shot. | |
| a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used This question has been answered probably around 50 times. A casual search will yield a lot of results. |
