Attention Minneapolis Audiophiles

I am in the process of a 30-day in home audition of a deHavilland mercury 2 tubed linestage, which is a new product showing amazing promise. Here's a link to the item.

Problem is I dont have another preamp (preferrable a tubed linestage) to compare it to. Making matters worse, I dont even have speakers at the moment - having just sold me Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage's (though i am expecting a set of Verity Audio Parsifal Encores next week).

If you are game, I would love to meet up for a little preamp head-to-head. I'd be happy to go to your place with the Merc 2 for a run, if anyone is interested.....

We've got speakers, amps, everything you need. When you are ready to make your comparison, let me know. If you want to hear what the BAT and Aesthetix stuff does beside the MP-3, I am game for that too.

I had no idea there were so many goners in the area. You certainly don't see them at the audio society meetings.

Shadorne- you're in White Bear?

Hi jd, I know at least one guy in Deephaven, but I don't think he's on audiogon. I wonder if a meetup for the local 'goners is worthwhile? Have you been over to other's places to hear their systems?
