Maybe I'm wrong but I really feel that I have arrived at a place that I will be at for a long time. The Devore, Shindo, Well Tempered, EMT system works so well together. I have just put in new from Shindo NOS EL34 (philips dynawatt) tubes into the Montrachet.
Last things to get are to find Shindo Silver IC between TT and phono, and between Phono and Auriges.
System edited: I think I'm serious this time, no more changes. Switched out Auriges for Monbrison and added Auditorium A23 SUT to feed MM on Monbrison.
System edited: Excited to get a good 35W Shindo amp and the auriges pre-amp into the system. I had tried a Shindo apetite and liked the sound but it didn't have enough power. The Montrachet seems to have plenty so far.
It is hard to describe what I like so much about the Shindo I have. I would say that it is "relativity", all of the instruments seem to relate to each other perfectly well even if the the kick bass might not be deep enough due to the low power of my 15w integrated, the relation of the kick bass with the other drum beats, etc. just comes across perfectly. You get a deeper sense of the music.
