Ah yes, the flat washed out photo from Shindo Labs. They do excite, don’t they? Shindo is unwavering in his convictions, right down to the consistent photograph aesthetic they use to announce product. What they lack in photographic prowess they more than reconcile in the exciting product announcement visually contain within!
Let’s see what Shindo-San has been working on, shall we?…
Pitch Perfect Audio is proud to be the first to introduce the new Shindo D’ Yquem parallel 300B Single Ended Amplifier, a mono-block design capable of producing a robust 18wpc into 8Ω.
A tiny green-toned elf just mentioned these to me, this morning, so price has not been set. Further details to follow.

Very fine!
WOW!! They look so enticing!
Of course, I’m wondering, along with the rest of the Shindo sphere, whose 300B tubes are in these beauties (Western Electric)? And where would these rank on the Shindo scale, above the 300B Ltd’s? Enticing indeed.
Tubes are unknown at this point, though I do know they are not WE tubes. Of course tubes are just one piece of the circuit puzzle.
However, I do know the WE300B LTD is still the top Shindo amplifier. The D’Yquem will hover, price wise, somewhere around the Lafon GM70 and LaGrange price point.
Best bottle of wine I ever had was a 1963 d’Yquem. Smooth velvety texture with lots of complex undertones and a firm foundation. Still remember it fondly after 20 years.
Hope this amp lives up to it’s namesake.
I think Shindo-san needs to fly you over as house photographer.
Ha! If only. 🙂 Thanks Tom..
