Bar Neiro ↗

Equipment in use

Bar Neiro pairs a Shindo Monbrison preamplifier with a Cortese 300B power amplifier. Western Electric 300B valves are specified in the latter.

  • Power amplifier: Cortese 300b with Western Electric 300b tubes
  • Preamplifier: Monbrison

Inside the system

Neiro’s Garrard source and Shindo electronics feed a large Altec-based horn system, with a Fostex T90A handling the additional high-frequency role identified in the equipment list. Efficient horn systems are a plausible partner for relatively low-powered valve amplification, allowing substantial output without treating amplifier wattage as the only measure of suitability.
