DOGE 10 MK3


Hello to all. 

In the midst of the pandemic, financial woes forced me to sell my Cary CAD120s MKII amp, and my Cary SLP-98L preamp..

Im now ready to jump back in. 

For a change, Im looking at 2 Integrated Chinese manufactured units. 

The Doge 10 MK3, and the Line Magnetic 805ia. 

The Doge , when properly tubed, will run about $2800 complete. I have found a brand new boxed LM 805ia. Price shipped will be $3800. 

Ive seen rave reviews for both units, and would to hear any input on the opinions of both. Especially the DOGE, being $1000 to the light side. 

Thanks to all.

I cannot give you any specific info on these amps, although I had a Doge5 CD player, which I loved.  But when buying from China, it's worth noting that Doge offers service in the buyer's home country, which is a big plus if you need it.  I don't know if LM offers this as well, but I think it's worth looking into. 

@jimger - assuming you live in the US, did you have to pay an import duty?  N/A if you’re not in the US.
