The Doshi made the tonal richness of each wind chime and drum crystal clear and rode the dynamic contrasts perfectly.
One room that never fails to impress with great analog sound, whether it’s at CAF or some other show, is the room featuring J.Sikora turntables, Doshi Audio
electronics, and Joseph Audio loudspeakers, connected using cables from Cardas Audio. At this year’s CAF it was the smaller room put together by Virginia-based dealer Command Performance AV. Using J.Sikora’s much anticipated Aspire turntable, an Aidas cartridge, and Doshi Audio electronics,
this system played Jeff Joseph’s standmount Pulsar2 Graphene speakers with a level of authority and impact that belied their compact size. Part of that system was the Doshi Audio Evolution Phono Preamplifier— the very same unit I took home for a listen.

Whenever I see a particular brand of gear or an individual component popping up in good-sounding systems put together by people whose opinions I respect, it gets my attention, especially when that person has no connection to the component in question or its maker—no reason to be loyal. They’re using the component not because it’s what they make or sell but because they like what it does.
