Customer Music System – Dean K. – San Francisco, CA
The first time Dean stopped by my shop, a few years back, he was floored by the Shindo 301 Player System, and was hooked on Shindo Labs ever since. He has taken his time developing a system that has rewarded him with it’s sonic virtues.
Like Stephen’s cool system, in the previous post, this hifi rig also resides in a beautiful living space. Dean’s Shindo Vosne-Romanee preamp and newly acquired Lafon GM70 amps (replacing VTL MB450′s) stand proud on the hip Room & Board Kinkaid media cabinet, flanked by Tannoy Prestige SE loudspeakers. Source components are a VPI Turntable, AMR CD-77.1 CD Player w/USB input and Sansui TU-9900 Tuner. Dean was inspired by my recent REL Precendent FM Tuner post and scored one for himself, recently. A Shindo Mr T. provides the juice and Shindo Interconnects and Auditorium 23 Speaker Cable complete the musical message.
According to Dean, his next move will be a Shindo 301 Turntable and another Mr. T to further maximize performance of the mono amplifiers, and system in general.

What a wonderful system!
I have been trying to decide which shindo amps to add to my Vosne-romanee preamp. Please give a report on the sound of the Vosne-Gm70 combo.
I absolutely love the combination but, to be honest, I didn’t compare some of the other alternatives. Much of the decision was driven by a desire to go SET but with as much power as possible. I doubt you can go wrong with any of the Shindo amps. It seems like it’s just a matter of deciding which one mates with your speakers the best.
Such an elegant setup! I really like how you have all your source components isolated on their own rack. Enjoy!
Great looking system, love the kinkaid unit. Any chance of more pics of the equipment rack?
Congrats on such a fine looking and I am sure sounding system.
Great looking system! Can’t help to think what improvement would be without av rack in middle.
I adore the beauty and elegance of your arangement,especally i like the
wooden furniture where your shindo gear is placed. Is this an antique piece or from a company which still produces it?
Thanks
Hans
OK,…sometimes it’s a good thing to read the text instead of just adoring the pictures..
