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

NP. I've been using reading glasses for 20 years and had worked my way up to trifocals before going w progressives a few years ago. That's why I always ask Doug to help w the close up work; he's nearsighted and I'm really farsighted.

Hi Tom- A bunch of us up here in southern New England have done a series of "pre-amp parties" where we have compared various phono/line stages, mostly using an early Doshi as a reference. Its a bit of haul from the Big Easy, but Southwest does fly into Hartford. I've got a Doshi, as does Doug Deacon who lives quite nearby. Dan_ed isn't too far and also Peterayer and MadFloyd and a couple of others whose monikers I forget (sorry guys). I'd be happy to host if you want to come up and meet the crew and listen to some different Doshi set-ups.

Time to get some new reading specs, guys. There is a period between the two sentences. "I've got a Doshi, as does Doug Deacon who lives quite nearby. Dan_ed isn't too far and also Peterayer and MadFloyd and a couple of others whose monikers I forget (sorry guys). " However, I do believe that Madfloyd did buy a used Doshi recently.
