Shindo Monbrison Stereo Preamplifier

The Shindo Laboratory Monbrison is a beautifully hand-crafted and full-featured vacuum-tube preamplifier built by Ken Shindo and his family in Japan. Ken uses plenty of hand-picked NOS parts in the Monbrison and it's full of tubes - eight total: two Telefunken ECL 94S, two 12AU7, two 12AT7 and two 6X4WA.

The Monbrison has an expected tube life of over 10,000 hours. This means you should be good for two hours of daily listening for almost 14 years. The Monbrison is compact and beautifully built inside and out. For vinyl aficionados, there is a moving-coil phono stage voiced to complement the Shindo SPU cartridge, plus a moving-magnet phono stage for a wide variety of moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridges. You can switch between the two phono stages via rear toggle. The Monbrison has four line inputs identified as CD, FM, TV and AUX. There's only one pair of outputs.
