anybody have a doshi pre to audition?

I live in new orleans and am considering upgrading from an ARC LS5 MKII or Dodd Battery Pre (I use both) with zyx artisan. I'm getting great sound but considering a major jump in the pre. then again with the economy I really want to hear a big leap here

I've spoken to nick, got the handshake down, but would really like to hear one

willing to drive 8 hours one way to hear one
or hop on a plane and pop in for a short audition if someone would be kind enough to host

then again my parents live in central Michigan
so maybe I should line it up with Nick's dealer in Ann Arbor.

Is anybody close?

thanks
Tom

Hi Tom - Wow, it's really cool to hear you're still running with the LS5II. That says a lot about this great line stage.

I have gone through a few line and phono stages since the LS5/PH2 days. I'm now running with the New Aria WV5XL and a newly rebuilt Counterpoint SA-2 into the Aria's MM input. The tube regulated/rectified PS's in each of these products surely have much to do with the magic going on here. I would love to hear the Doshi preamp compared to this setup.

When you get a chance to hear the Doshi at a dealer or another A'gon member's setup, hopefully you will have one of your line stages to get a relative comparison. I'm eager to hear about your findings on this.
