Does it exist?

What gear are you running in your systems?

Green goodness

Well here you go, I have my initial Shindo bits and pieces now.
I'm starting at the bottom to get a feel for each product and I will move up through the range over time.
So for now I have an Aurieges MM pre amp, a Montille Power amp and a Mr T power filter. These are all hooked together with Shindo Silver interconnects and I have a pair of Auditorium 23 speaker cables as well.. These will be hooked up to a pair of DeVore Gibbon 88s (when they finally arrive). For this week I have connected a set of Spendor bookshelf contraptions. I still have the Antipodes Reference Server and my MHDT Labs Havana dac and of course my VPI Classic, for which I have an EMT JSD 6 cartridge coming.
I have acquired a Garrard 301 that I intend to refurbish and mount in a LignoLab plinth and put one of James' fantastic Appartion arms on. Good times!

Is envy still one of the seven deadly sins?

I call shotgun on a seat at the first listening evening. Will even bring some good music to listen to. Wine as well. ;)

Har har. The dac lives on the bottom shelf! Connected to the server via a nice short usb cable!

Philistine!

But yes you are right, grubby man prints all over the pre...

Dangerous Question Mr K! I asked the other day and had to make a run for it!

That's why I asked online. He doesn't know where I live.

Those unfulfilled purchase frustrations can manifest in mysterious and violent ways - ask me, I know. I once had a South African gun license take 16 weeks to come through, so I couldn't pick up my new pistol for what felt like forever. I was surlier than Neil after a parade of audio-geek tyre-kickers wanders through the shop :D

(Damn thing turned out to be a total POS anyway - had to flog it)

The DeVore Gibbon 88s turned up today, and after hooking them up at home to the Shindo, it was pretty obvious they were designed with the green gods in mind!
