Doshi Audio Alaap V2.1 Preamplifier
Doshi is the brand and the designer's last name. Simple circuits, minimal gain stages and elegant execution with respect to power supply and interstage loading provide results that are true to the spectral power and dynamic envelope of the audio signal.
The audio circuitry in the phono stage consists of a balanced pre-preamplifier section for moving-coil pick-up cartridges that provide 20 db of gain. This section feeds the first tube preamplifier section, which comprises of four parallel triode sections that drive a passive RIAA equalization network. The de-emphasized signal is then amplified by another section made up of parallel triode sections.
The result is passive brillance! Each amplifier is hand-built by Doshi himself, to very high specifications and includes high quality phono circuits. Three out of six inputs are dedicated to MC/MM phono. Doshi also considers each customer's system individually-tailoring the phono stage to ZYX, Koetsu and Bentz cartridges to ensure a perfect-pairing.
Available in the following versions from least expensive to most: Line Stage Preamplifier, Phono Preamplifier, Purist Preamplifier, and Full Function Preamplifier.
Price: $14,995.00 (Full Function)Available for Demonstration.

Introducing the New!
REL Acoustics G-2 Subwoofer
The G-2 features the award-winning REL connectivity suite providing the most flexible and sonically transparent integration, weight and low-frequency authority to the main loudspeaker system. The REL connectivity suite allows for using both high and low level input options. Exclusive to REL is the ability to blend and individually control both signals. Better yet, the REL connectivity suite allows multiple units to be used in conjunction with one another either in stereo pairs or vertically-stacked towers. Finished in furniture-grade hand-rubbed high-gloss piano black laquer the G-2 will blend into virtually any interior environment.
Adding to the overall user experience is the G-2's IR remote control. Now, for the first time, setup and adjustment can be done from the comfort of your listening position. This unique round disc-shaped remote features three rotary encoder dials that control all adjustments for HI/LO Level, Crossover Frequency and .1/LFE Level. Phase and Settings Lock are controlled via toggle switches.

Wilson Audio Mezzo Speaker
The Mezzo is the latest product from the Wilson Special Apps Engineering Team. This group of products recognizes that there are situations where the typical floor-standing loudspeaker fails to adequately meet needs that fall outside the typical listening room/home theater environments. The Mezzo was formatted and engineered with a specific function in mind: a loudspeaker endowed with nearly identical sonic signature to Wilson's Sasha W/P, but in a low-profile package.
The Mezzo provides an unprecedented level of musical accuracy in music systems and home theaters where its low-profile solves architectural challenges, such as in those installations where a tall loudspeaker would block wall-to-wall cinema screens, the view afforded by large windows, or would obstruct wallhanging artwork. The Mezzo's angled front baffle more correctly aligns the drivers for coherence in the time domain, presenting the listener with a detailed and transparent soundstage of proper width and depth. The adjustable tweeter allows for optimization of Mezzo's array geometry, specifically addressing the challenges of a low-profile loudspeaker - ensuring accurate group delay correction for a variety of installations, preserving delicate transient information and beauty.
Whether it is used as a center channel in conjunction with Sasha, MAXX, or Alexandria, or as a main loudspeaker, Mezzo matches the tonal beauty, dynamic speed, tonal sophistication, resolution, and sense of "thereness" that are hallmarks of Sasha W/P.
Available with two stands (at additional cost): The Hourglass Stand or The Pedestal Stand
Price: $13,900 (Standard)
All are available for demonstration at Paragon.
