Shindo‘s approach to analog is legendary: taking the high-torque, dynamic performance of the vintage idler-drive turntable design and completely rebuilding it using their proprietary parts and philosophy. Shindo turntables are a benchmark for pace, dynamics, and musical power, delivering a profound emotional connection to the music that few other designs can match. Every system is a unified work of art, designed for perfect synergy with Shindo tube amplification.

The Shindo 301 Player System represents the ultimate expression of the idler-drive concept. It is a deeply customized Garrard 301 motor unit housed in a massive, acoustically tuned laminated hardwood plinth. The system features proprietary upgrades to the platter, bearing, and tonearm, all designed for flawless signal retrieval and a powerful, dynamic analog experience.
The musical realism and dynamic drive of Shindo turntables must be heard in a dedicated environment. We offer private listening sessions to audition this iconic analog system paired with Shindo electronics and high-efficiency loudspeakers.
