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

Swampwalker,
Unfortunately, you are mistaken. I do not own a Doshi, but have had the pleasure of hearing one at Doug Deacon and Paul's house and MadFloyd just brought his to my house for an audition. It's a very good preamp, but I am currently enjoying Pass Labs' new solid state XP-20 preamp. You are correct about the active and wonderfully friendly group of Doshi owners in the New England area. There is quite a following up here.

Tom, you will not regret making the effort to come up for a visit.

Swamp,
I sit corrected. Dan_ed does have one, and I thought that is what you meant by naming the members in your posting all of whom have a Doshi except for me. I should read more carefully. I'm getting to the point where I may need bifocals, especially after using the MintLP tractor to align my cartridge. Sorry for the confusion.
