This is the last system I have put up , with the help of my dealer, CDF Audio, the only thing left from my last system is the turntable.The Monbrison replaced a Copland CTA 305, before the Montrachet my amp was the Pass Lab X250, and the speakers where the Elektra937 BE special edition speakers, much bigger than the Super 8, but the Gibbons are much more musical.
And that is exactly waht my wife and I where looking for.The most musical system we could afford.
Upgraded from the Champion to the Master Solution. All I can say is that it makes beautifull music.
Clearaudio Unify
I simply love this arm.
Benz Micro MC Reference
I have waited some time to purchase this cartridge.It is simply musical.
Shindo Monbrison
When my dealer let me have this preamp to try out, he knew what he was doing.Actually I wanted to purchase new speakers, after I had listen to this preamp, it was a no brainer.
Shindo Montrachet
Simply the most magical amp I have ever owned!
DeVore Gibbon Super 8
My last purchase in the system.Listening to music trough those speakers, is really a treat.
Sakahara, LOL, no I don't represent A23, but I do use them in my Shindo system. I don't think I'm defensive at all... I'm open minded, so if you say the Ocellia cables sound great with your system I'm willing to give them a try also. Just curious, how much do the Ocellia speaker cables retail for?
Scott, you probably know this but Jeff Day at 6Moons did a review of a Cortese amp and one of his favourite test records was You get more bounce with Curtis Counce :)
Great system Andre! I've also visit CdF whenever I'm in Montreal, great guys. I used to have the Super 8s so I certainly agree that there's some wonderful synergies going on there.
I'm looking forward to hearing the Orangutans when they're finally released. I understand that they're higher efficiency and work even better with low powered SET/PP amps like Shindo. Maybe Jld can provide some input?
