About the Vosne-Romanee

The Shindo Vosne-Romanee is a meticulously hand-crafted vacuum tube stereo preamplifier designed around the Siemens C3m valve and custom output transformers. It offers switchable phono inputs for both moving-magnet (MM) and moving-coil (MC) cartridges, making it versatile for vinyl enthusiasts. The preamplifier is praised for its rich, textured, and nuanced sound quality, often described as full of finesse akin to the fine wine it is named after. It features a robust steel chassis with integral partitions for shielding and structural integrity, finished in Shindo's signature metallic-green paint. The power supply includes a large custom Denki mains transformer and uses a series pair of 6X4 full-wave rectifiers with enhanced storage capacitance and silencing chokes for superior performance. The Vosne-Romanee is considered a masterpiece in preamplification, delivering expansive bass, coherent top-to-bottom sound, and excellent imaging, especially with its mono option for phono input. It weighs 10.5 kg and measures 400 mm wide, 165 mm high, and 270 mm deep.
