It's been a long road, but here is my system now with the wonderful Shindo pre and amp. I just finished the DIY rack made out of maple. I'd like a TT upgrade somewhere down the line, but I'm very happy with this system. It is my "sanity saver", although some would argue it has failed.
Newly finished, made of maple block shelves, legs, and isolation spikes. I had a Salamander rack and grew tired of the rods and lack of stability. This is very stable, firm, and the sound has improved a lot. It is ultimately adjustable; I just have to get or make different size legs.
Shindo Cortese
A wonderful 10 watts of SET bliss.
Shindo Monbrison
This wonderful preamp changed my audiophile life
Nottingham Spacedeck
A good turntable and the mapleblock really improved the sound. With Shelter 501 cartridge
Audio Note UK CD-2
Audio Note UK CD player. I used to love it, but I don't use it much these days. My listening is almost completely vinyl.
Zingali 4
Wonderful Italian crafted horn speaker. Efficient enough at 93db to work very well with my SET Shindo at 10 watts.
