Shindo Giscours Stereo Preamplifier

Eighteen years after its original release in 1986, Ken Shindo has taken his design to a new level. Features include new old stock Western Electric 349A's in the linestage, amorphous core MC step up transformers, dual mono design, twin tube rectification, output transformers, and a complete new chassis concept.

Describing how music sounds through the Giscours preamp transcends audiophile hyperbole, which is all too easily tossed around.

The Giscours is the model above the incredible Vosne-Romanée, itself an incredible preamp and etching it’s own place in historical products, for those in the know.

Massive output transformers, select components and specialized circuitry  – create the highly realized sound we have come to know from Shindo Labs.  Refined vinyl playback circuitry is maximized with the built in step up transformer (the best way to increase gain and sonics of moving coil cartridges.)

Giscours will be the centerpiece of your system for decades.
