Further Information

Among the late Ken Shindo's last designs—including the Partager and Vosne-Romanée L preamps and Montille CV391 amplifier—the most significant may be the D'Yquem mono amplifier (reviewed in February 2014, Vol.37 No.2). The D'Yquem excels at everything I most value—musical drive, melodic flow, color, texture, scale, impact—and stands as the finest amplifier I've had in my home."—Art Dudley, Stereophile

For sale are a pair of 18watts SHINDO 300B Parallel Directly Heated Single Ended Mono Amplifiers.  These are very rare units since they use vintage and rare parts Shindo had on hand and there are no more than a dozen pairs globally. Serial number is no 3 and no 4, the amp is in excellent minty condition and originally retailed for USD30k (in today's money).

Included are 2 pairs of highly regarded german made Elrog 300Bs (retails USD4k/€3.6k) - much better than the Russian made Genelex that originally came with the amp. These Elrogs were from Thomas Mayer - the later more reliable productions. They are low hours and I will provide their measurements on a calibrated tube tester shortly. Included are also the original and much sought after Shindo power cords.  Not interested in offers

Amazing monoblock amplifier's  , I had the pleasure of hearing these a few months ago and they sounded so musical and involving  , with surprisingly good bass weight  .

In my humble opinion parallel single ended 300Bs are the best amplification available.  The 18 Watts generated open up a whole new realm of speaker choices and provides the head room and drive that speakers even with very high efficiency benefit from. 
 

In my experience they generate an unparalleled front to back depth , producing real solidity to the instruments they portray. Vocals are just magnificent, you “see” the singer as a flesh and bones reality.  What amplifiers built by one of the most highly regarded designers of all time are capable of I can only guess.  If you seek an emotive response to music the 300B is unsurpassed. Forget any of the old nonsense about being slow or bass shy, correctly implemented the 300B is lightning fast with bass which gives true texture and presence to bass. Someone is going to be very fortunate.
