Patience, Realrookie. It just might work out. Are you anywhere near Surf City? I could be persuaded to carry mine (once they're delivered) over to the left coast. But it would be coming home with me. :)
Who is Nick Doshi?
Several posters here have listed custom designs by Nick Doshi as being the best amps and preamps they have ever heard -- including the phono stage within the preamp.
However, I've never heard of Nick Doshi, and Google turns up nothing. Evidently he's an exremely private designer!
What's the deal?

So maybe a US Sonic Summer Tour - eh - with a possible stop in the upper midwest? You could visit Pargon/Michigan then swing over across the lake as you wend your way leftwards. I'd love to compare the Doshi pre to my ACT2/Xono combo. With luck my 320 upgrade will be here by then. I'll even supply the goldfish (but it might be walleye instead.) heh. |
Aoliviero, Larry Marcus is now handling Nick's product inquiries, as per the post above. Nick needs to focus on his workbench! Larry can be reached via his website: http://www.paragonsns.com/ Nick's main product offering is the Alaap, a full-function preamp. There's lots of info on my system page. There are multiple options. Each Alaap is custom configured during consultations with the buyer. This affects the price of course. My prototype was in the $6K neighborhood but Larry does the pricing now. The queue is going to lengthen with all this talk and production is limited to what Nick himself can make. Don't dally if you're interested. Nick also makes a very special power amp by modding a rare vintage unit that's becoming difficult to find. Availability is extremely limited. He is designing his own amps but it will be months before they appear. |
