MY Place sbayneMade some major changes. Going battery powered. Life off the grid is a whole new audio experience! Also been using a DYI sound resonator. All I can say is WOW! More to come..... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneBernardo - I agree they mostly help with imaging/soundstage. By changing the angle of the top diffuser you can literally tailor the soundstage to your liking. As you problem know many people use ba... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneBimbamboom - Speakers have been the bayne of my existence (pun intended, my last name is Bayne). The Philharmonic 3 looked good on paper because I've really enjoyed that planar midrange sound in th... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneJust a few comments on my "new" system. First, Shindo is probably the best you can buy - I know, I owned it. I wanted to buy another share in a very good friend's business so I sold off m... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneSystem edited: Extreme makeover to my system! I don't think its "better" than what I had but it is still very, very musical and enjoyable! posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneSystem edited: I've been tweaking my Logitech Touch by adding a Welborne power supply and using a SimAudio 100D DAC. This has brought dramatically better sound to the digital side of my system. The... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThanks Matt. The Shindo gear gets better with age, sort of like the fine wines they are named after! posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneAdamaley - You're right, no dedicated DAC. The Touch meets my current needs for digital which is: convenience. The internal DAC does 96/24 decoding and it has a nice interface. The analog outs soun... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI'm just looking for the best speaker for my room and equipment. The doesn't mean the Devores and Altecs are not excellent speakers. The Salks just seem to load the back enclave area in my room bet... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneSystem edited: I've been enjoying the Salk Archos in my system. They are very tube friendly at 94db and the open-baffle design throws a huge, balanced soundstage. posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |
Music for the soulI think our systems say a lot about the person behind it. Shindo, Devore, Curtis Counce, the guitar, the dog - I can certainly relate to all of that! posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThanks John. Much better imaging and bass impact! posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneSystem edited: Now using a pair of Devore Nines. Not as much bass as the Altecs but a more balanced sound with a slightly better soundstage. posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneLike all of Shindo's products, the first impression I had of the Shindo TT in my system was he obviously spent hours and hours refining the mechanics and ultimately the sound. I own another very ni... posted almost 17 years ago | View comment | |
